Step-by-Step Test Procedure
Insert This End
STEP 1 Insert Test Strip.
Insert a test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. Push it in until it will go no further. The meter will turn on and the display check will appear briefly. Then the code number will appear, followed by the R symbol with the unit of measure. Check that the unit of measure is set correctly. Be sure the meter and test strip codes match. If they do not, code the meter correctly.
STEP 2 Apply Sample.
Obtain a round drop of blood using the OneTouch® UltraSoft™ Adjustable Blood Sampler. The blood sample must be at least 1 µL in volume ( actual size) to fill the confirmation window. When the R symbol appears on the display, touch and hold the drop of blood to the narrow channel in the top edge of the test strip.
DO NOT
•Apply sample to the front or back of the test strip.
•Push your finger against the test strip.
•Apply a smeared sample.
