1. Make sure that the strip is in the PDM and the PDM is pow-

ered on. Refer to page 55 to check Pod status and to Confirm 
ID. 

2. Hold the lancing device firmly against the side of your 

finger. Press the release button. Remove the lancing 
device from your finger.

3. Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round 

drop of blood forms on your fingertip.

4. Bring the strip to the blood sample at a slight angle 

(Figure 7-18).
If you do not apply the sample within 10 seconds, the strip 
port light turns off. To turn it on again, press Light.
Use only one edge of the blood glucose test strip per test. Do 
not apply blood to both sides (Figure 7-19 on the next page). 
Only use strips once. Discard used strips.

If you do not start the test within 2 minutes, the PDM 
powers off. Refer to page 55 to check Pod status and to 
Confirm ID. 

If the blood smears or runs, DO NOT use that 
sample. Dry the area and gently squeeze another 
drop of blood, or puncture a new site.
