How to use:

Wash and thoroughly dry your hands before testing.

Open an individual foil packet and remove the test strip. Insert the strip into the compatible meter or reader according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Use a compatible lancing device to obtain a small drop of blood. Apply the blood to the white sample area at the end of the strip.

The test begins when sufficient blood has been detected. The blood glucose result is displayed after approximately 5 seconds. If the first sample is insufficient, additional blood can be applied within 5 seconds.

Dispose of the used strip after testing.
