CHAPTER 3: TAKING A TEST
Set up your meter correctly and have all the materials you will need ready before
you begin testing. This including your VivaChek™ Fad Sync meter, the
VivaChek™ Ino test strips and VivaChek™ lancing device with lancets.
Preparing the Test Strip
1. Wash and dry your hands well before testing.
2. Remove a test strip from the test strip vial (or the foil pouch). Tightly close the
vial cap immediately after you have removed the test strip.
3. Insert the test strip into the meter in the direction of the arrows. Meter turns
on after a beep.
4. A symbol with a test strip with a flashing blood will appear letting you know
the meter is ready to test.
Note:
Check the expiration and discard dates on the test strip vial. All expiration dates
are printed in Year/Month/Day format. 2022/01/01 indicates 1
st
January, 2022.
Your VivaChek™ Ino/Fad test strips have 6 months shelf life after you first open
the test strip vial. Write the discard date on the vial label when you first open it.
Make sure the test strip does not appear damaged. Prior to testing, wipe the test
site with an alcohol swab or soapy water. Use warm water wash hands to increase
blood flow if necessary. Then dry your hands and the test site thoroughly. Make
sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
