Patient Glucose Testing
Applying a blood sample
46
Once the meter has detected the test strip, you are
prompted to apply a blood sample.
1
Wait until the flashing drop appears in the display
before applying the blood. The meter beeps again.
2
Apply the drop of blood to the front edge (yellow
dosing area) of the test strip. Do not apply the
blood to the top of the strip.
Blood is pulled into the test strip by capillary action.
Blood on top of the test strip is not available for
testing.
Once a sufficient blood sample has been detected, the
meter beeps and the measurement begins.
