• Do not use test strips if the strip port module is not fully inserted. User will receive an error message if the strip port
module is not secure.
• Use each test strip only once.
• Do not scan a test strip packet's barcode and then use a test strip from a different packet. This may cause inaccurate results.
• Apply a drop of blood to the target area at the end of the test strip. The test results will not be affected if the target area has
been briefly touched with the patient’s finger, a capillary tube, syringe, or pipette.
• After the blood is applied to the test strip and the test countdown begins, do not remove or disturb the test strip.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow blood or other solution to run down the test strip into the meter’s test strip
port. The strip port module should be replaced if the meter becomes disabled as a result
of liquid or other contaminants entering the strip port.
