Applying blood and reading results

Once you have a blood sample and your meter shows the APPLY BLOOD screen, you are ready to obtain a blood glucose result. If your meter does not show the APPLY BLOOD screen, remove the unused test strip and re-start the test process. See page 10.

1. Prepare to apply the sample

The drop of blood should be next to the top edge of the test strip. Blood should not be applied to the flat face of the test strip.

When applying a drop of blood from your forearm or palm, keep your palm or forearm steady and bring the top edge of the test strip to the drop of blood with your other hand.
