Applying a proficiency sample Once the meter has checked the test strip, the hourglass
icon disappears and you are prompted to apply the profi-
ciency sample.
1 Wait until the flashing drop appears in the display
before applying the sample. The meter beeps.
2 Apply a drop of sample to the front edge of the test
strip. Do not apply the sample to the top of the strip.
The sample is pulled into the test strip area by
capillary action.
Once sufficient sample has been detected, the meter
beeps and the measurement begins.

When applying the proficiency sample, position the
meter so that the test strip port is always higher or on
the same level as the sample. This prevents any
excess sample from flowing down the strip and enter-
ing the meter.
