⚠️ Attention: If you do not obtain enough blood, gently massage your finger towards the tip. DO NOT SQUEEZE your finger, as this can affect the result. If needed, adjust the puncture depth (Step 6) and try again.

When the meter displays a flashing blood drop symbol ?, apply the blood sample to the tip of the test strip's reaction zone. The blood will be drawn into the strip via capillary action.
