Testing a Blood Sample • 4
109
Applying blood with a syringe
Discard the first four drops of blood collected (within the
first 10 seconds). Then immediately apply one drop of
blood (at least 8 μL, but not more than 20 μL) directly
onto the target area of the test strip. Ensure that no air
bubbles are introduced into the sample.
If too much blood has been applied (> 20 μL) the exterior
of the meter and the test strip guide should be cleaned
and disinfected.
