Applying Blood Sample

Bring Test Strip to Blood Sample: The meter now displays the 

blood drop and test strip symbols. This means your WaveSense 

Presto System is now ready for you to apply blood. Immediately 

bring the WaveSense Presto Test Strip to the blood sample. 

The test strip fills from the 

tip. Do not try to smear 

blood on the top surface.

The WaveSense Presto Test 

Strip acts like a sponge and 

draws the blood into the test 

strip through the sample 

area. The visual fill window 

of the WaveSense Presto 

Test Strip will turn red.

[2] Do not press the WaveSense Presto Test Strip against the 

test site. 

[3] Do not scrape blood onto the WaveSense Presto Test Strip. 

[4] Do not apply blood to the top side of the WaveSense 

Presto Test Strip. 

[5] Do not apply blood to the WaveSense Presto Test Strip 

when the test strip is out of the meter. 

[6] Do not put blood or foreign objects into the WaveSense 

Presto strip port. 

[7] Do not apply more blood after beep. 

[8] Carefully read the test results on the screen before 

making any treatment decisions.

Remove Test Strip from Blood Sample when you hear the 

beep: Your meter will beep once, when you should remove 

the tip of the WaveSense Presto Test Strip from the blood 

sample. 

On the display, blood 

drop symbols appear on the test strip 

symbol to indicate that blood is filling the 

WaveSense Presto Test Strip.

This is the visual fi ll 

window. DO NOT 

PUT BLOOD HERE.

Apply blood here.

The entire 

visual fi ll 

window will 

turn red.

IMPORTANT: 

[1] Remove the test strip from the blood sample as soon as 

you hear the beep.
