How It Works
The Test Strips provide a quantitative measurement of glucose level in whole blood. The absorbent hole fills automatically when the test strip contacts with a blood drop through simple capillary action. The blood drop is drawn into the absorbent hole. The Meter reads the glucose level. Only 0.7 microliters of blood sample are required. The reaction time is 6 seconds. The meter displays glucose levels from 40 to 600 mg/dL.
Blood Collection Procedure
You can obtain a blood drop from your fingertip through the following procedures:
1. Clean the puncture site with warm, soapy water. Then rinse and thoroughly dry.
2. If an alcohol swab is used, make sure the puncture site is completely dry before lancing.
3. Lance the puncture site. Wipe off the first blood drop. Rub gently to form a new blood drop.
4. Do not squeeze puncture site excessively.
Performing A Blood Glucose Test
1.Wash hands with warm, soapy water.
2.Remove a test strip from its vial with clean, dry hand. Do not bend, cut or modify the test strips in any way. Remove the test strip from the vial. Use it promptly.
3.Insert the Test Strip into the Meter. The Meter will turn on automatically.
4.Use the lancing device to obtain the blood samples.
5.Apply the blood sample to the Test Strip. Do not apply the blood sample twice.
6.Read the test results. Eject the used test strip.
7.Discard the used test strip and the lancet into the waste container for sharp objects.
8.The Meter will switch itself off automatically after the test strip is ejected.
