TIPS FOR A CORRECT SAMPLE APPLICATION
• Make sure the blood drop has a spherical shape
and is large enough, like a teardrop, before appling
the sample to the Chip.
• After obtaining that blood drop, immediately apply it
on the Chip.
• Rest the pricked finger on the other hand leaning on a
flat surface to help you during the blood application.
• Do not touch the Chip or block the entry channel
with the finger during the application.
• Apply the sample on a single attempt. Never add
more blood to the Chip.
• A sufficient amount of blood will have been applied once
the meter emits a beep tone and the blood drop symbol
and the countdown disappear on the display. After that,
remove the finger gently, trying to leave a small
amount of blood at the Chip’s entry channel.
ALSO REMEMBER...
• Use any technique recommended in this guide to warm
hands, until the fingerstick area has a slightly reddish color.
• Your hands must be clean, free of contaminants and
completely dry. Any alcohol, creams, lotions or sweat in the
area may cause incorrect results.
• Do not use the Chip if you detect that the Chip is defective
or its pouch is opened or damaged.
• The Meter must be placed on a flat and steady surface and
do not move the Meter or the Chip until the test is over.
• Do not shake the Meter or let it fall.
• Do not manipulate the Meter or the Chip with wet or dirty
hands/gloves.
• Do not fingerstick until the 80-second countdown starts.
• Use any finger for fingersticking.
• Do not squeeze or “milk” the fingerstick area. Do not let
the drop of blood spread on the finger.
• If you get an error message, follow the steps described on
the “Error Guide” section of the Meter’s instructions for use.
• If you need to repeat the test, perform the fingerstick on
a different finger with a new lancet and a new Chip.
