2. Apply the sample
Line up the test strip
with the blood drop
so that the narrow
channel on the edge of
the test strip is almost
touching the edge of
the blood drop.
Gently touch the channel to the edge of
the blood drop.
Be careful not to push the test strip
against your fingertip or the test strip may
not fill completely.
• Do Not smear or scrape the drop of blood with the
test strip.
• Do Not apply more blood to the test strip after you have
moved the drop of blood away.
• Do Not move the test strip in the meter during a test.
3. Wait for the confirmation window to fill
completely
The blood drop will be drawn into the
narrow channel and the confirmation
window should fill completely.
When the confirmation window is
full, this means you have applied
enough blood. Now you can move
the test strip away from the blood
drop and wait for the meter to count
down from 5 to 1.
See Step 4 below, left.

Do Not hold the meter and test strip
underneath the blood drop. This may cause
blood to run into the test strip port and
damage the meter.
CAUTION:
You may get an ERROR 5 message or an inaccurate result
if the blood sample does not fill the confirmation window
completely. See Troubleshooting in Section E. Discard the
test strip and re-start the test process.
