4. Blood glucose measurement
Hold the application zone of the test strip vertically onto the
blood sample. The blood is automatically sucked in the reaction
zone of the test strip. Be sure to get enough blood on the strip’s
reaction zone, otherwise, an inaccurate reading may result. The
signal tone indicates that enough blood entered the reaction
zone. The meter will now start with the measurement which will
last 5 seconds. The LCD display shows the remaining time of
measurement in seconds. Afterwards the note „OK“ indicates a
correct measurement. The measurement is finished with another
signal beep and the measured value is shown on the display.
5. Storing memories
The displayed result is automatically stored in the memory of
the meter. If more than 20 results are reached, the oldest one is
deleted.
6. Discarding used test strips and lancets
Write down the measured result in your personal diabetic log
book and take the test strip off the strip slot. The meter turns
off. If you don’t take off the test strip, the meter will turn off
automatically after 5 minutes.
