2.7 Inserting Test Strips into the Meter
Insert the test strip into the meter as described below.
1. With clean, dry hands, remove 1 test strip from
the aluminum pack.
• Do not cover the check window with your fingers.
• Do not apply blood to the test strip before inserting it into the meter.
2. Insert the test strip fully into the test strip slot.
You will hear a beep when the meter turns on. A full display appears.
A flashing blood symbol and the most recent test result appear on the
screen.
Start blood sampling when the current date
and time appears.
• For the mg/dL spec meter, "mg/dL" appears instead of "mmol/L".
• A test result with a thermometer symbol or a delete flag does not
appear as a previous test result.
• When 4 minutes and 30 seconds passes after inserting a test strip,
you will hear a beep every 5 seconds. The meter turns off
automatically after another 30 seconds. In this case, remove the test
strip once and insert it back into the test strip slot.
• If nothing appears on the screen, remove the test strip and insert it
back into the test strip slot. If there is no change, replace the battery. If
this does not work, contact your distributor.
• When an error code appears, refer to chapter 8 "If a Message
Appears" and take the necessary steps.

NOTE
3.1 Cautions on Blood Sampling
3.2 Blood Sampling Method
For accurate test results, perform blood sampling as described below.
1. Disinfect the puncture site with alcohol cotton
pads, etc.
2. Let the alcohol dry thoroughly.
Make sure the puncture site is dry. Otherwise it may lead to hemolysis.
3. Puncture with the lancing device.
The method for using a lancing device is different for each one. Please
read the manual that comes with the device.
4. Press lightly around the puncture site to obtain
a small drop of blood.
5. Use clean gauze, etc. to wipe off the blood once.
6. Press lightly around the puncture site again to obtain a small drop of
blood.
Chapter 3 Blood Sampling
• Use extreme care when handling blood. Incorrect handling can
cause you or people around you to be infected by pathogenic
microorganisms.
Follow these warnings to reduce the risk of infection.
WARNING
• Do not share the same lancet or lancing device with anyone to
avoid the risk of infection by pathogenic microorganisms.
• Always use a new lancet. Lancets are for single-use only. Do not
reuse a lancet that you have already used.
• When puncturing a thin part of the body such as an earlobe, etc.,
do not directly support the rear of such part with your finger. (There
is a risk of puncturing your finger with the needle penetrating the
part of the body. This may cause an infection via blood. When there
is a possibility of penetrating through to the other side, consider
puncturing a thicker part of the body.)
CAUTION
NOTE
NOTE
NOTE
Always disinfect the puncture site to avoid the risk of infection.
After sampling blood, stop bleeding and protect the puncture site.

7.3 Changing the Battery
When the battery symbol appears on the screen, the battery is getting low.
Before using your meter, change the battery. Past results remain
in the memory even when the battery is changed.
Your meter uses one CR2032 3V lithium battery. This type of battery is
available in many stores. Keep a spare battery handy at all times.
You do not need to set the date and time if you insert a new battery
within 2 minutes after removing the old battery. Even if you change the
battery within 2 minutes, your meter's clock may be reset if:
• You do not replace the battery soon after the battery symbol appears.
• You insert the battery upside down.
• You touch the metal parts inside the meter with hands or metal.
When the time has been reset during battery replacement, "12:00" or
"0:00" will flash on the screen the next time you insert a Test Strip. In
this case, set the correct date and time (see chapter 6 "Meter Setup").
1. Make sure the meter is off.
2. Open the battery cover by lifting the tab with your finger or fingernail.
Do not touch the metal parts inside the meter with your hands or metal.
3. Remove the old battery. Slide the new battery into the battery cover
with the “+” side facing downward.
• If the battery is inserted upside down, the meter will not operate.
4.
Match the lines on the battery cover and the meter. Close the battery cover.
Dispose of old batteries according to your local environmental
regulations.

1. Make sure that the flashing blood symbol and the date/time appear
on the screen (see chapter 2.7 "Inserting Test Strips into the Meter").
2. Touch the tip of the test strip at a 90 degree angle to the drop of
blood.
Let the test strip draw up blood until the check window is filled with
blood.
• Do not apply blood when a full display appears on the screen.
• Do not add any extra blood even immediately after the first draw. It
may cause inaccurate test results.
Accurate test results will not be obtained if you apply your blood to
the check window directly.
• For accurate test results, touch the test strip to your blood immediately
after puncturing.
• Do not test blood that runs or spreads out from the puncture site.
• Do not smear blood on the test strip.
• Do not press the test strip into your puncture site with force.
• Keep your hands away from the test strip until the test result appears.
3. You will hear a beep when the countdown starts from 15 to 1.
4. Read your test result.
When "Hi" or "Lo" appears as the test result, it means that the result is
outside the test range.
• "Hi": The blood lactate level is above 25.0 mmol/L (225 mg/dL).
• "Lo": The blood lactate level is below 0.5 mmol/L (5 mg/dL).
When the test result is not what you expect, check that:
• The thermometer symbol is not on,
• The meter and the test strip adjusted to the specified temperature
and humidity before the test,
• The test strip was not exposed for a long time after being removed
from the aluminum pack,
• The test strip is not expired,
• The test strip is not reused,
• Sweat is not mixed with blood,
• The test strip is filled with enough blood.
5. Pull the test strip straight out of the meter.
The meter stores the test result into the
memory and turns itself off.
• Even if the test strip is not pulled out, the meter will store the test result
in the memory after 3 minutes and turns itself off.
• New results beyond the 330th result overwrite previously s tored results
in the order of the oldest first, regardless of the measurer code.
Disposal of Infectious Waste
The test strips, lancets, and alcohol cotton pads qualify as infectious
waste once used to test the blood lactate level. Dispose of them
according to your local regulations on biohazardous waste.
