Applying blood to the test strip
Hold the blood input gap on the test strip against the drop of blood until the
gap is completely filled and the display of the monitor starts counting back
-
wards. Wait for approx. 5 seconds until the blood glucose value measured is
shown in the display.
Normal value: 2 hours after a meal: 70 – 140 mg/dL (3.9 – 7.8 mmol/L)
On an empty stomach: 70 – 100 mg/dL (3.9 – 5.6 mmol/L)
Disposing of the lancet needle
Remove cap. Place the retained protective disc on a surface and stick the
tip of the needle into it.
Press and hold the trigger and pull the tensioning device with your other
hand. This causes the lancet to drop out of the holder. Properly dispose of
the test strip and lancet. Reapply cap.
