Move into the shade or shield the

meter, for example, with your

body.

Repeat the test.

You...

• have not washed your fingers or they are soiled or sticky.

• applied a contaminated blood drop (for example, due to food, drink

or glucose residue on your finger).

• pressed your finger onto the test area.

• moved the tape of the test cassette.

• smeared the blood on the test area.

• did not keep your finger still or

• did not remove your finger from the test cassette immediately

after the beep tone.

Wash your hands with warm water and soap and rinse them well.

Dry your hands thoroughly with a clean towel before obtaining blood.

Touch the blood drop to the test area, which is located between the

guidance tabs at the tip of the cassette. Place your finger lightly on

the guidance tabs without pressing it onto the test area between

them. Only the blood drop should touch the test area of the cassette.

Keep your finger as still as possible.

Apply the blood drop or control solution only to the centre of the test

area without pressing on the test area.

Remove your finger from the test cassette or remove the brush with

control solution from the test area as soon as the beep tone sounds

and Test in progress is displayed. The beep tone helps you to obtain

a reliable test result.
