Do not test the blood sample if you get: Smeared blood •
Clotted blood
• Runny blood • Clear fluid mixed with the blood.
Maintain steady pressure until
the blood drop reaches the
suggested size (0.6 μL).
Lift the device away
from the skin with-
out smearing the
blood.
For forearm
testing only,
rub the testing
area vigorously
until it feels warm
to increase blood
flow. Press the
clear endcap
firmly against the
puncture site
and then press
the blue release
button. Keep the
device in constant contact with the
skin and pump (apply and release
pressure) up and down 2–3 times
without lifting the device away
from the skin.
