Then insert the lancet fi rmly until it comes to a full stop. This will “cock” the device. 4. Twist off the lancet cap and replace the endcap. Push Out Test Strip 5. Your Breeze Meter uses a special, easy-to-use “Pull and Push” design. Here’s how it works: Hold the meter comfortably in one hand. Firmly grasp the meter handle with the other hand (shown here). Now, just “Pull and Push”—“Pull” the handle out until it stops and “Push” it back in until it stops again. Helpful Hint:

NOTE: After the meter handle is pushed in, the release button is UP, a test strip is pushed out, and a series of “apply blood” prompts appears. The meter is now ready to run a blood glucose test. CAUTION: • Y our meter is designed to push out one test strip at a time. Do not attempt to push out a new test strip with one already showing. • Discar d any test strip that has been removed from the meter. Never re-insert a test strip into the meter. 6.

Test 7. Your test strip is like a straw—it sips in a sample of blood. Move the entire front edge of the test strip until it touches the edge of the blood drop, without touching the fi nger. The blood is automatically pulled into the test strip and fi lls the test strip. Hold the test strip in place until the meter beeps, then move the meter away. For best results: • Blood is pulled IN the test strip, not dropped ON. • Do not allow blood to run down into the meter. • Do not add

8. After the beep, the display counts down from “5” to “1.” Your test result then appears on the screen. Helpful Hint: The number displayed in the upper left corner is the number of test strips remaining in your 10-test disc. IMPORTANT: If you want to mark this result as a deleted blood test, you must do that now, while the result is still being displayed. See “Marking a Deleted Blood Test” on page 17.
