Use a new test strip

Remove a new test strip from the test strip vial, and tightly re-close the vial cap immediately to protect the remaining strips.

Insert test strip

Hold your meter with the screen facing you. Gently insert the strip with the green side facing you and the contact bars on the bottom. 
 

You’ll see a flashing drop on the meter screen indicating the test strip has been inserted correctly and is ready to receive a sample.

Lance finger

Massage your finger to get the blood flowing. Then lance the side of your fingertip by pressing the green button.

Form a round drop of blood

Squeeze your fingertip so the blood drop forms. Be sure to get a large enough drop to help prevent an error in your reading. If it smears, runs or dries, lance in a new location.

Apply to test strip

Apply blood drop to the visible channel on either side of the test strip, NOT the top.  
 

IMPORTANT: After you insert the test strip, you have 2 minutes to apply the blood before your meter will automatically turn off. If this happens, press and hold the OK button to turn it back on and wait for the flashing drop to reappear before applying blood to the strip.
