Performing a Blood Glucose / ß-Ketone Test
To perform a blood glucose or ß-ketone test, you will need: meter
(c), strip (d), sterile lancet (g) and lancing device (f).
1. Insert the test strip to turn on the meter
Wait for the meter to display “ ”, “ ” and “GLU”, or
“KETONE”.
2. Select the appropriate measuring mode by pressing M.
3. Obtaining a blood sample (j)
Use the pre-set lancing device to puncture the desired site(i). Wipe
off the first appeared drop of blood with a clean cotton swab. Gently
squeeze the punctured area to obtain another drop of blood. The
volume of blood sample must be at least 0.9 microliter ( ìL) for
blood glucose test, 1.0 microliter (ìL) for blood ß-Ketone test. Be
careful NOT to smear the blood sample.
4. Apply the Sample (k)
Gently apply the drop of blood to the absorbent hole of the test strip
at a tilted angle. Confirmation window should be completely filled if
enough blood sample has been applied. Do NOT remove your
finger until you hear a beep sound.
NOTE:
Do not press the punctured site against the test strip or try
to smear the blood.
If you do not apply a blood sample to the test strip within 3
minutes, the meter will automatically turn off. You must
remove and reinsert the test strip to start a new test.
The confirmation window should be filled with blood before the
meter begins to count down. NEVER try to add more blood to
the test strip after the drop of blood has moved away. Discard
the used test strip and retest with a new one.
