3¡¢Then, the meter display showing
WAIT
4¡¢After several seconds,
APPLY
SAMPLE
Appears for 5 minutes or until you apply blood to the test spot.
Step 3:
Apply Blood Sample.
Notes:
Apply enough blood to form a round, shing drop that covers the test spot completely and stays wet during the whole test.
¡ôDo not move the test strip as you are applying blood. If the test strip moves, push it back test strip moves, push it back immediately.
¡ôDo not smear blood on the test spot or apply a second drop after the test begins.

2¡¢Then the meter counts down from 45 to 0 seconds, beep three times, and displays the test result. The meter displays results from 0 to mmol/L(600mg/dL). If the test result is above the range, it will display [HIGH].
3¡¢ Turn the meter off.
Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip
It is very important that the drop of blood should be large enough to cover the test spot completely, although the Meter requires only a drop of blood.
As the meter can not detect if the drop of blood was too small to give an accurate reading every time. So after finished test, it is important check the test strip to make sure that you applied enough blood.
¢ÙAfter finished test, remove the test strip from the meter.
¢ÚLook at the test spot, it should still have a wet, shing drop that completely covers the test spot. If the blood sample has a dull, dry appearance, you may not have applied enough blood.
¢ÛLook at the back of the test strip,you should see a full circle.
If the blood was not enough, it can not cover the whole test spot and the back of the test spot will not be average. In either case,you may have a false low result. Repeat the test with a new test strip.

ask: How many times should I test blood?
Answer: The times of test blood is a patient or healthcare professional according to patient¡¯s age, medication, health and diabetes¡¯level.
Ask: Are the every test result same?
Answer: Not. Every test result maybe different. The test results are related to patient¡¯s diet, exercise, health and test¡¯s time. And the changes of test results are helpful to patients and healthcare professional in controlling diabetes and adjust treatment plan. After the doctor examined the patient¡¯s health, he will adjust treatment plan and advice the patient to keep blood glucose level in and ¡°ideal range¡±. If patients follow doctor¡¯s treatment plan, in most cases, the blood glucose test results were kept in the ¡°ideal range¡±.
Ask: How to obtain accurate blood glucose test results?
Answer: Patients should pay attention to below items:
¡ô Keeping the Blood Glucose Meter clean;
¡ô Apply enough blood to cover the test spot completely;
¡ô Touch only the tip of the drop of blood to the test spot;
¡ô Do not use a test strip if expired or its test spot is discolored;
¡ô Make sure the code number on the meter display matches the code number on the test strip bottle;
¡ô Regularly to consult your healthcare professional for the way of proper to use the meter.
Ask: What should the patient do if the test result above the doctor¡¯s ¡°ideal range¡±?
Answer: If in this case, the patient should check whether he follows the doctor¡¯s treatment plan or his health is not very good, etc. If test results are ofter above the ¡°ideal range¡±, the patient should contact his doctor immediately.
Ask: How is the blood glucose level should if controlling diabetes well?
Answer:
time range: mg/dL range: mmol/L
8 hours before meals 70¡«120 3.9¡«6.7
30 minutes after meals 100¡«180 5.6¡«10.0
1 hour after meals 90¡«170 5.0¡«9.4
2 hours after meals 75¡«135 3.9¡«6.7
Ask: Why are the meter test results different from hospital laboratory test results?
Answer: Blood Glucose Meter made with these test strips are calibrated to whole blood while most laboratories measure glucose on plasma or serum-the part of blood remaining when red blood cells are removed. This means that laboratories using plasma or serum samples will produce glucose concentrations about 12% higher than your brand meter results. To compare your meter result with the laboratory result divided by 1.12.
