2. The meter identifies the code number automatically. Compare the code number displayed on the LCD
with the code number shown on the vial or the foil packet. If they do NOT match, try again with
another test strip. If the problem persists, please contact Customer Service.
3. When the blood symbol appears, it indicates that the meter is ready for blood β-ketone testing.
IMPORTANT
█ Obtaining a Blood Drop
1. Adjust the puncture depth setting if necessary, by turning the lancing device cap, number 1 is the
shallowest depth while number 5 is the deepest. Slide the ejection/cocking control barrel back until it
clicks. If it does NOT click, the lancing device may have been cocked when the lancet was inserted.
2. Hold the lancing device firmly against the side of your fingertip and lance the finger by pressing the
release button of the lancing device.
3. Gently massage your finger towards the puncture site to produce a drop of blood.
NOTE: Prick the side of fingertip to avoid soreness. To avoid calluses, choose a different testing site each time.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
█ Applying Blood
Place your finger on the tip of the test strip. Ensure that the blood is NOT applied from above.
The measurement chamber of the test strip draws the blood of your finger automatically. Your finger should
remain still until the measuring chamber is completely filled and you hear the “beep” sound.
If you have taken the cap off of the lancet and the lancet has fallen to the ground, do NOT use it. Make sure
you dispose of it and replace it with a new lancet.
• Do NOT squeeze excessively around the puncture site when you produce a drop of blood.
• If alcohol wipes are used to disinfect the fingertip, make sure the fingertip is completely dry before
obtaining the blood sample.
• Blood β-ketone testing must NOT use the forearm or palm site. Only use the fingertip for blood β-
ketone testing.
• Before the test you must make sure that the code number displayed on the meter matches the code
number on the test strip vial or foil packet.
