Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip

The Meter cannot always tell if a sample is too small, so it is impor- tant that you also look at the Test Strip to make sure that you applied enough blood.

Front Side

■Remove the Test

Strip from the Meter and look at the Test Spot. It should still have a wet, shiny drop

that completely covers the circle. If the blood sample has a dull, dry appearance, you may not have applied enough blood, or you may have smeared it.

■ Look at the back	Back
■ Look at the back
of the Test Strip.
You should see a
full, dark circle.*

*The white portion on the back of the Test

Strip may also appear as a small square, due to different manufacturing processes. This difference will not affect your blood glucose results.
