To test a drop of blood, follow these steps
Step 1 Wash your hands and test site with warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly. You
may also use an alcohol wipe to clean. Make sure it is completely dry before
testing. (Dirt, oil, lotion, or sweat may affect the test result).
Step 2 Prepare the lancing device. Insert a lancet into the lancing device. The device
holds, positions, and controls how deeply the lancet goes into the skin. (Refer
to the Instructions for use for more information).
Step 3 Remove a test strip from the vial. Recap the vial immediately to prevent
moisture from affecting the other test strips. Insert the test strip into the port
of the meter with the "arrow" mark facing up.The meter will automatically turn

on and display the code number. Make sure the code number matches the
code number on the test strip vial. If the code numbers do not match, do not
use it and contact customer support immediately. Refer to Instructions for use.
Step 4 Poke the test site. Only a small drop of blood is necessary for accurate test
results. Touch the top edge of your test strip to the drop of blood and do not
remove it until you hear the "beep" sound. The meter will countdown from 5 to
1 and a test result will be displayed.
NOTE
Poking the side of your fingertip is less painful. Do not squeeze or milk the puncture site.
Step 5 The meter will automatically store your results in the memory to be retrieved
at anytime. Push the ejector button forward to discard the test strip.
