Setup
1. Installing Batteries

- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the meter.
- Open the battery cover.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery cover securely.
2. Setting Up the Lancing Device
- Unscrew the cap of the lancing device.
- Insert a new sterile lancet firmly into the lancet holder.
- Twist off the protective cap of the lancet.
- Replace the lancing device cap.
- Adjust the penetration depth by rotating the top of the lancing device. Start with a shallower setting (e.g., 2-3) and adjust as needed for a sufficient blood sample.
- Pull back the cocking control until it clicks, indicating it is ready to use.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to perform a blood glucose test:
- Prepare Your Hands: Wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap, then dry them completely. This helps ensure hygiene and promotes blood flow.
- Prepare the Meter: Insert a new Sinocare Safe-Accu2 test strip into the test strip port of the meter. The meter will automatically turn on and display a blood drop symbol, indicating it is ready for a blood sample.
- Obtain Blood Sample: Place the lancing device firmly against the side of your fingertip (avoiding the very center) and press the release button. Gently massage your finger to form a small, round drop of blood.
- Apply Blood Sample: Touch the tip of the test strip to the blood drop. The blood will be drawn into the strip automatically. Do not apply blood to the top of the strip.
- Read Results: The meter will begin a countdown (approximately 10 seconds) and then display your blood glucose result.
- Discard Used Components: Eject the used test strip from the meter (the meter has an automatic ejection feature). Carefully remove the used lancet from the lancing device and dispose of both in a sharps container.
