Applying blood to the test strip
Hold the blood input gap on the test strip against the drop of blood until the
gap is completely filled and the display of the monitor starts counting back
-
wards. Wait for approx. 5 seconds until the blood glucose value measured is
shown in the display.
Normal value: 2 hours after a meal: 70 – 140 mg/dL (3.9 – 7.8 mmol/L)
On an empty stomach: 70 – 100 mg/dL (3.9 – 5.6 mmol/L)
Disposing of the lancet needle
Remove cap. Place safety shield on a flat surface and push the tip of the
needle into it. Use the sliding switch on the side. This causes the lancet to
drop out of the holder. Properly dispose of test strip and lancet. Reapply
cap.
