Flagging Test Results
It is possible to flag a test result with an asterisk ( )
for a special result. When the results in memory are
reviewed, this flag is a reminder of a special result.
1. Perform a test.
2. With the test result on the display, and the test strip
STILL IN THE METER, press the right or left arrow
button once. The
appears in the lower right
corner.
3. Remove and discard the used test strip and blood
collection device per facility infection control policy.
To test blood glucose you require
approximately 4.0 μL of blood. Avoid producing
large drops of blood on the patient’s finger.
Where the drops of blood are too large, the
meter may come into contact with the blood.
Wipe off any large drops of blood. Test using
the drop of blood that forms again at the
puncture site.
Residues of water or disinfectant on the skin
can dilute the drop of blood and so produce
false results.
After a successful test, the meter turns itself
off five seconds after the test strip is removed.
