7. Meter prepares
Wait for the meter to prepare.
When the meter is ready, the Apply
sample now screen will appear.
DO NOT apply the sample until prompted.
8. Obtain sample
Gently swirl the LQC solution you prepared earlier
(see above), then remove the lid and use the pipette
provided to extract a sample of the solution.
Remember to use the solution within 25 minutes of
dilution (or 60 minutes if refrigerated).
9. Apply the sample
When the meter moves to the
Analysing screen, transfer the
hanging drop of LQC solution
from the pipette to the target
area (the white semi-circular
notch to the base of the strip).
The sample should fill the entire
target area.
s
You must apply the LQC solution to the test strip within 25 minutes of
preparing the solution (or 60 minutes if refrigerated).
After the sample is applied, do not bump the meter or strip until the final
result is displayed.
Do not tilt the meter at extreme angles while running a test. If the meter is
tilted too much in any direction before sample application, a warning screen
will prompt you to hold it level. If the meter is tilted after sample application,
an error will occur and the test will abort.
Ensure enough sample is applied to fill the small white semi-circle notch
target area on the strip.
If you spill sample into the meter’s strip port while applying the sample,
clean the meter using the instructions on Page 31.
