or manually enter the test strip lot
number via the keypad, then press
Enter.
Scanning the barcode identifies the strip
type, calibrates the meter, ensures the
expiry date has not passed, records the strip
lot used, and checks that the lot has been
approved for use by your facility.
7. The Sample Type screen will appear.
You can select one of the following:
Press 1 - Arterial/Capillary, or
Press 2 - Venous.
Use Venous mode only for venous samples
that have been in capped tubes and that
have not been mixed with air. Use Arterial/
Capillary mode for all other samples.
If the Sample Type screen is not seen,
continue with step 8.
8. Make sure your hands or gloves are
