PERFORMING A BLOOD SUGAR TEST WITH BLOOD FROM YOUR FINGERTIP
Your test result appears with an arrow. This arrow shows
if your test result falls above, within, or below the target
range.† The target range is represented by the green region
of the target range indicator. The arrow will ash if your test
result falls above or below this range.
Remove and discard the used test strip by pulling the test
strip out of the meter or by pushing the test strip ejector on
the side of the meter.
Wash your hands with
warm soapy water and
dry thoroughly. Prepare
the nger pricker.
Check the use by date on
the test strip container.
Do not use test strips past
the use by date.
Remove a test strip from
the test strip container.
Close the cap tightly.
Insert the metallic end of
the test strip into the meter.
The meter turns on.
When a ashing drop
symbol appears, perform
a nger prick with the
nger pricker.
Gently squeeze your
nger to assist the blood
ow. This helps you get a
blood drop.
Touch the yellow edge of the
test strip to the blood drop.
Do not put blood on top of the
test strip.
Remove your nger from the
test strip when the ashing
hourglass symbol appears.
Failure to move your nger away
from the test strip could give
inaccurate test results.
