PERFORMING A BLOOD GLUCOSE TEST

Step 1
Remove GLUCOCARD™ 01 SENSOR
blood glucose test strip from the bottle.
Immediately replace the bottle cap
tightly. Insert test strip as shown in
diagram. A beep will sound and the
meter will turn on automatically.
Step 2
The last test result will appear. The Apply
Blood symbol and the code number
(F-2, F-3, or F-4) will alternate on the
screen. Verify that the code number on
the screen matches the code number
printed on the bottle. If the code number
does not match, the meter may
give a false reading. If code does
not match, use a new strip. If code
still does not match, use a new
bottle of test strips or call Customer
Service at 800.566.8558 (24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, USA and
Canada only).
Step 3
Obtain a blood drop. Apply blood to the
end of the test strip. Capillary action will
pull the blood into the strip. The meter
will beep when it detects that blood has
been applied. The meter will begin to
count down. Do not add blood on top
of the test strip, as you may receive an
inaccurate result.
Important: Ensure that enough blood is applied to fill the check
window and it turns red. When the check window is filled with
blood and a beep sounds, remove the tip of the test strip from your
finger. If there is not enough blood, "E-7" will be displayed.
