Applying Blood Sample

Step 9
Obtain a blood sample using the lancing device. Place the
device against the test site: the marginal ear vein in both cats
and dogs; paw pad in cats and dogs; leg callus, usually dogs;
inner or outer lip, dogs only. Press the release button. Remove
the device from the sample site. Wait a few seconds for a blood
drop to form. A minimum volume of 0.4 microliter is needed to
fill the confirmation window (actual size of 0.4 µL: ).

Press and hold the button.
Note: Petroleum jelly may be applied prior to lancing the
site. This can help the blood to form into a droplet and avoid
spilling into the hair.
Step 10
After the symbol appears on the screen, apply the blood
sample to the narrow end of the test strip till the meter
beeps. If the confirmation window is not filled in time because
of abnormal viscosity (thickness and stickiness) or insufficient
volume, the Er4 message may appear. It is recommended to
place the test strip vertically into the blood sample site as
shown below.
