Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip

Although the ONE TOUCH® Profile® System requires only a small drop of blood, it is very important that the drop be large enough to cover the test spot completely.

In many cases, the meter can detect if the drop of blood was too small to give an accurate reading. If

appears on the display, your drop of blood was too small, or smeared, or the test strip was not pushed all the way into the test strip holder. Repeat the test with a new test strip and enough blood to cover the entire test spot.

The meter cannot always tell if a sam- ple is too small, so it is important that you also look at the test strip to make sure that you applied enough blood.

Note: If you are using event labeling, remove and check the test strip after you have linked the event label to your test result. See Event Labeling, Insulin Programming, pages 42–47.
