Note: Do not twist the plunger when the release button is yellow or when the lancet counter shows
no white bars. This may damage the device.
8. Your result appears on the
display. If you want to flag
your test result for a special
event, leave the test strip in
the meter. (See “Flagging
Test Results.”) Otherwise,
throw the used test strip
away.
9. For virtually pain-free
testing, we recommend that
you advance to a new,
sterile lancet after each test.
To load the next lancet, twist
the plunger one-quarter turn
forward (until it stops), then
twist it back all the way.
10. The lancet counter
decreases by one white
bar. For safety reasons,
once you advance to a
new lancet, you cannot go
back to a used lancet.
