How to use?

Remove the test strip from the vial. The top section will be inserted in the meter. The printed side remains on the top and the Sample area is the place to take the sample

Insert the test strip to turn the meter on. The meter turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity. Remove and reinsert the unused test strip to restart the meter.

Obtain a blood drop with the help of a lancing device. The test strip requires only a 0.3 microliter of blood for accurate results

Apply and hold the blood to 1 sample area of the test strip until you see short lines moving clockwise on the display or you hear a beep

The result appears on the display when the test is complete. The time that the meter takes to display a result depends on your blood glucose level. Higher glucose levels require more time.
