Applying the sample and viewing your result:
Line up the test strip with the blood drop.
NOTE: Do Not apply blood on the top of the test strip.
Gently touch the channel to the edge of the blood drop.
Wait for the confirmation window to fill completely.
The blood drop will be drawn into the channel and the confirmation window should fill completely.
CAUTION:
You may get an error message or an inaccurate result if the blood sample does not fill the confirmation window completely. Discard the used strip and re-start the test process with a new test strip.
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 or you may get an error message or the meter may turn off.
Do Not remove the test strip until the result is displayed or the meter will turn off.
When the confirmation window is full, this means you have applied enough blood. The Countdown screen will appear. Now you can move the test strip away from the drop of blood and wait for the meter to count down (about 5 seconds).
Viewing your result:
Your result appears on the display, along with the unit of measure.
After your blood glucose result appears, the meter will display a Range Indicator Arrow below your glucose result to indicate if your result is below, above or within the meter's range limits.
The arrow will point to the appropriate Colour Range Indicator Bar on the meter as a visual reminder.
NOTE: When testing with blood, if the Range Indicator Arrow is not shown along with your blood glucose reading, the meter has detected a problem with the test strip. Repeat the test with a new test strip.
CAUTION:
Do Not make immediate treatment decisions based on the Range Indicator feature. Treatment decisions should be based on the numerical result and healthcare professional recommendation and not solely on where your result falls within the meter's range limits.
WARNING: Confirm that the unit of measure mg/dL is displayed. If your display shows mmol/L rather than mg/dL, stop using the meter and contact Customer Care.
NOTE: If you get an error message instead of a result, see the following article:
