Test Strip
This system measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole
blood. Blood is applied to the absorbent hole of the test strip and is
automatically drawn into the reaction cell where the reaction takes
place.
The test strip consists of the following parts:
Contact Bars
Insert this end of the test strip into the monitor.
Push it in firmly until it will go no further.
Test Strip Handle
Hold this part to insert the test strip into the slot.
Confirmation Window
This is where you confirm if enough blood has
been applied to the absorbent hole of the strip.
Absorbent Hole
Apply a drop of blood here and the blood
will be absorbed automatically.
Please see section,
"Test Procedure", for complete instructions.
Always hold the test strip by the Test Strip Handle when inserting it into the
monitor. Be careful not to touch the Absorbent Hole as it may contaminate
the sample.
