If the test strip is removed from the meter to apply blood::

Venous blood anticoagulated with lithium heparin or ammonium heparin or EDTA, arterial blood and blood from neonates

Sample dosing:

Blood application onto the middle of the test pad. The test strip (and its components) has the function to spread the blood above the test area in a quick and hygienic way

Dosing options:

Blood can be applied to already inserted test strip (In-dosing), or a test strip outside the meter (Out-dosing). Out-dosing is helpful to minimize the risk of contamination when a meter has multiple users (e.g. in a hospital) and, in case of alternative site testing, to facilitate blood application

Plausibility check option with 5 color block on the test strip vial

Hematocrit range:

20–55% (In-dosing mode), 20–70% (Out-dosing mode)

Test strip stability:

Test strips remain stable up to expiry date printed on test strip vial, even after opening (test strip container must be closed tightly after each test strip is removed)
