Preparing the Test Strip
1. Wash and dry your hands well before testing.
2. Remove a test strip from the test strip vial or 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 format. 2017-01 indicates January, 2017. Your
VivaChek™ Eco Blood Glucose 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.
Preparing the Lancing Device
For fingertip sampling, adjust the depth penetration to reduce the discomfort. You
do not need the clear cap for fingertip sampling.
