Important Tips
• Store full test drum in the original vial with
the cap tightly sealed until ready to use. Once
removed from the vial, test drum can be used
for 90 days or until the use-by date printed
on the vial label, whichever comes first.
• Keep the vial until the test drum is empty
and removed from the meter. When per-
forming a quality control test, you will need
to refer to the expected values printed on
the vial label. The expected values are also
located on the control value insert.
• The meter is factory set with the beeper
turned on. We recommend that you always
leave the beeper turned on.
• The meter automatically advances a test
strip from the test drum when the
button is pressed. Do not puncture the
aluminum foil or remove a test strip
directly from the test drum.
• Holding the meter in an upright position,
gently touch and hold blood drop or control
solution to the black notch on the front edge
of the test strip. Do not pull your finger away
until the is displayed and the beep
is heard.
• Do not reuse a test strip that has been
completely released from the meter.
• Wait until the current test drum loaded
in the meter is empty before opening the
test drum compartment.
