Use the pre-set lancing device to
puncture the desired site. Wipe off the
first appeared drop of blood with a
clean cotton swab. The size of the drop
should be at least as big as

volume. Gently squeeze the punctured
area to obtain another drop of blood. Be
careful NOT to smear the blood sample.

While holding the meter in an angled
position with the strip facing down, gently
bring the strip to the sample so that the
absorbent hole can sip in the blood.

completely filled if enough blood samples
have been applied. Do NOT remove the
finger until you hear a beep sound.
