Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip

Although the ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus 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. However, it is important that you also look at the test strip to make sure that you applied enough blood.
