4. Operating Instructions: Performing a Blood Glucose Test

Follow these steps to perform a blood glucose test using your Sinocare Safe-Accu2 system:

1. Prepare Your Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry them completely. This helps prevent infection and ensures an accurate sample.
2. Prepare the Lancing Device: Insert a new lancet into the lancing device and set the penetration depth.
3. Insert Test Strip: Remove a test strip from its vial and immediately close the vial cap tightly. Insert the test strip into the meter's test strip port. The meter will turn on automatically.
4. Obtain Blood Sample: Prick the side of your fingertip with the lancing device. Gently squeeze your finger to form a small drop of blood.
5. Apply Blood Sample: Touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The strip will draw the blood into the reaction area. Ensure the blood sample is sufficient (0.6µL). Do not smear the blood.
6. Read Results: The meter will display your blood glucose result in approximately 10 seconds. Observe the indicator light: green for normal range, red for abnormal.
7. Eject Strip: Use the strip ejection button to safely dispose of the used test strip.
