Step 1: Remove Assure
®
Platinum Test Strip from the bottle.
Immediately replace the bottle cap tightly.
Insert test strip as shown in the diagram. Meter will turn on automatically.
Verify that all symbols appear on the screen.
The strip and flashing blood drop indicate the meter is ready for use.
Step 2: Obtain a blood sample. Touch the sample application tip at the end
of the strip to the blood drop on your finger. Capillary action will pull
the blood into the strip.
Note: Apply blood to test strip within 20 seconds of obtaining blood sample. The
meter will start to count down when it detects that blood has been applied. If meter
does not start after adding the first blood drop, remove the test strip and test with a
new test strip. Discard strip if meter does not start to count down.
Step 3: Meter will count down by showing “7”.
The meter will show the result in 7 seconds.
