STEP 3: Read Your Result
After the meter counts down from 6 to 1,
your blood glucose test result appears
along with the unit of measure, date
and time. This blood glucose result
is automatically stored in the meter
memory. Turn the meter off by removing
the test strip. Discard the used test strip
carefully to avoid contamination. See
Figure 34.
Important: If you do not apply a blood
sample within three (3) minutes, the meter will
automatically turn off. You must remove the test
strip and re-insert it again to turn on the meter
and restart the test procedure.
Caution: If you cannot test due to a problem
with your testing supplies, contact Customer
Care at 1.800.243.2636. Failure to test could
delay treatment and/or lead to serious medical
conditions.
