Reuse of Test Strips can cause inaccurate results. NEVER add a second drop of sample to the Strip. Adding more sample gives an error message.

5. Step 5: Apply Blood to Strip

   Wait until the Drop Symbol appears in the Display. With the strip still in the meter, touch the Tip of the strip to the blood drop. Allow blood to be drawn into the strip. Remove the test strip from the blood drop immediately after the meter beeps and starts to count down on the Meter Display.
