Blood application in the instrument:
9 Apply a large hanging drop of blood directly
from the finger to the yellow sample application
area of the test strip. Do not touch the application
area with the finger.
The drop of blood must be applied to the test
strip immediately after lancing the fingertip.
Blood which is applied later may lead to an incor-
rect result.
For cholesterol testing, wipe away the first drop
and immediately apply the second drop.
