FAQ
Sometimes I have trouble getting a blood drop that is large enough. What can I do?
Try washing your hands in warm water. Warm water will help increase blood flow for a better fingerstick. You may also massage the finger before the fingerstick.
What is the best way to fill the blood collector?
Hold the blood collector horizontally or at a 45° angle relative to the blood drop. Touch the tip gently to the drop of blood and allow the tube to fill. It will stop automatically when it is filled completely.
My blood collector is not filled completely. What should I do?
Apply pressure to your finger to get more blood. Again, touch the tip gently to the drop of blood and allow the tube to fill. You may have to re-prick your finger to get the necessary blood. If the blood collector does not fill, call Customer Service.
There is extra blood on the tip of the blood collector. What should I do?
Carefully wipe the tip of the blood collector with a piece of gauze or tissue. If some of the blood comes out while doing this, touch the tip gently to the blood drop to re-fill the blood collector.
The cartridge will not insert into the analyzer. What should I do?
Make sure you are inserting the cartridge facing the correct direction. The code should be on top as you insert the cartridge into the analyzer.
I accidentally opened the cartridge pouch too early. What should I do?
Throw away the cartridge if it has been opened for more than 2 minutes. Inaccurate results can be obtained. Use the remaining cartridge in the kit instead.
