Applying blood and reading results
Once you have a blood sample and your meter shows the screen with the flashing blood
drop icon
R
, you are ready to obtain a blood glucose result. If your meter does not show
the screen with the flashing blood drop icon
R
, remove the unused test strip and re-start
the test process. See page 7.
Step 1
Prepare to apply the sample
The drop of blood should be next to the top edge of the test strip. Blood should not be
applied to the flat surface of the test strip.
When applying a drop of blood from your forearm or palm, keep your palm or forearm
steady and bring the top edge of the test strip to the drop of blood with your other hand.
