13 Apply the blood directly from the nger by
touching the blood drop against the side
of the semicircular, transparent sample
application area of the test strip.
To prevent excess blood from reaching the
meter, apply blood via side-dosing directly
from ngertip.
Alternatively, you can apply the blood directly
from the nger to the center of the semi-
circular, transparent sample application area
of the test strip. The test strip draws up the
blood by capillary action.
During this process you must hold the blood
drop to the test strip until the next screen
indicates that the blood has been applied
successfully.
CAUTION
Apply the blood drop to the test strip within
15 seconds of lancing the ngertip. Applying
blood after this period of time could falsify
the result, as the coagulation process could
already have begun.
