DIRECTIONS

Before Testing:

  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dry completely.

  • Ensure the meter is clean and working properly.

  • Check the expiration date on the test strip vial.

Inserting the Strip:

  • Remove one test strip from the vial and immediately recap the vial tightly.

  • Insert the test strip into the meter's test strip port. The meter will turn on.

Obtaining a Blood Sample:

  • Use a lancing device to get a blood drop from the chosen test site (fingertip is often recommended for the most accurate and consistent results, especially when glucose levels are changing rapidly).

Applying Blood:

  • Touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The strip will automatically draw in the blood. Do not smear the blood.

Reading Results:

  • The meter will display the blood glucose reading after the countdown.

  • Record the result.

Disposal:

  • Dispose of the used test strip and lancet in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container.
