Applying the blood drop
You can hold the meter in your hand or lay it down while you apply blood to the test area. You should be
able to see the test area when applying the blood drop.
Testing is complete after
approximately 5 seconds,
depending on the blood glucose
concentration. The test result
appears on the screen and the
beep tone sounds. The meter
saves the test result at the same
time. The used test area is
transported away from the tip of
the cassette.
If you want to flag the test result,
do not turn the meter off (see
Flagging results page37).
Close the tip cover to turn the
meter off.
The blood drop is drawn up by
the test area.
Remove your finger from the test
cassette as soon as the beep
tone sounds and Test in progress
is displayed.
The test area has drawn up
enough blood. The hourglass
symbol indicates that the test is
in progress.
i
You can only hear the beep
tones when they are turned on
(see Setting tones page49).
Apply the blood drop only to the
centre of the test area.
The guidance tabs are intended
to help you apply the blood drop
correctly.
• 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.
