®
WAVE Blood Glucose Test Strip
• Lancing device with a sterile, unused lancet
• Clear cap for Alternative Site Testing (AST) on palm and forearm
Before you begin, make sure:
• Set up your meter properly and run a control test. See Setting Up Your New System on
page 17 and Control Solution Testing on page 31 for details.
• Wash your hands and the testing site thoroughly with soap and warm water, and dry
well.
• You are testing in an area within the temperature ranges of 41˚F~113˚F and relative
humidity ranges of 20~90%. Your meter will not test outside of this range and will display
thermometer icon. Move the meter into an area that is within 41˚F~113˚F and 20~90%
RH, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before testing again.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance
to you, the meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected (Page 59)
appropriately when testing is conducted by the second person.
