LEARNING

SURESTEP® Test Strips

When blood is applied to the pink test square, it is absorbed and a chemical reaction takes place. A blue color forms in the confirmation

dot on the back of the test strip and is read by the meter to determine the blood glucose level; the darker the color, the higher the blood glucose level.

White Tip is inserted into the meter. The side where you apply blood must be face up when you insert the test strip.

Pink Test Square is where you apply a drop of blood.

White Pad absorbs the excess blood that may extend beyond the pink test square. Do not apply blood directly onto the white pad.

Black Tip helps the meter detect that the strip has been inserted properly.

Confirmation Dot on the back of the test strip is where you check to confirm proper blood application. When it turns completely blue, enough blood has been applied for an accurate test.
