sample
on the display, apply a drop of blood
to the Test Spot.
The Meter will beep when the blood
has been applied to the Test Spot.
Make sure that you:
■
Do not remove the Test Strip from
the Meter to apply blood.
■
Do not smear blood on the Test
Spot or apply a second drop after
the test begins.
■
Do not move the Test Strip when
you are applying blood. If the Test
Strip moves, push it back to its
original position.
■
Touch only the tip of the drop of
blood to the Test Spot.
■
Apply enough blood to form a
round, shiny drop that covers the
Test Spot completely and stays wet
during the entire test.
