Do not put blood or foreign objects into the FreeStyle Lite Test
•
Strip port.
Waiting for Result
Do not pull the • FreeStyle Lite Test Strip away
until you hear one beep or see the short line
moving clockwise on your meter screen. This
means you have enough blood and the meter
is reading your glucose.
If after five seconds your meter does not show a short line moving •
around the display screen, the sample may be too small. You may
add blood to the same sample area of the test strip from which you
started for up to 60 seconds from the time of the first application.
The test result is complete when your blood •
glucose test result is shown on the display
screen and you will hear two beeps.
On average, your reading will display in 5
•
seconds. The time that the meter takes depends
on your blood glucose level. The higher your
glucose level, the longer it takes to get a result.
Potential Bruising
It is possible you may experience bruising at the test site. If bruising
does occur, you may choose to lance another test site.
