Note
Only take blood from other areas of the body at the following times:
• On an empty stomach (more than two hours after most recent meal).
• At least two hours after administration of insulin.
• At least two hours after physical activity.
Please also note the following:
• If the blood glucose test results do not match how you feel, carry out another test using blood
from your fingertip.
• DO NOT change your treatment purely on the basis of a measurement that was carried out
using blood taken from an alternative area. Carry out another test with blood from your fin-
gertip in order to confirm the test result.
• If you often fail to notice that you have a low blood glucose level, carry out a test using blood
from your fingertip.
5 If necessary, repeat the process
If you do not obtain sufficient blood, repeat the lancing process with a greater penetration
depth in a different area.
6 Apply blood to the test strip
Turn the monitor by 180°. Hold the blood input gap (at the tip of
the test strip) to the drops of blood until the gap is completely
filled and the monitor in the display starts counting backwards.
Do not press the penetration area (fingertip or other body parts)
to the test strip. The blood must not be spread. The blood is
sucked into the gap.
Note
Error message “Error2” appears on the display if the gap was
not correctly and sufficiently filled with blood. Repeat the meas-
urement using a new test strip and a greater penetration depth.
Note
• Do not add blood later if the device does not start measurement. Remove the test strip and end
this test. Use a new test strip.
• If the test strip has already been inserted into the device but no blood is added to the test strip
within two minutes, the device switches itself off. Briefly remove the test strip and reinsert it so that
the device automatically switches itself back on.
• Contact Customer Services if you are unable to cover the test strip in blood correctly.
