White Tip faces up as the test strip is inserted into the test strip holder.
Pink Test Square is the area where the blood must be applied. For detailed information, refer to “Applying Blood Sample to Test Strip” on page33.
White Pad absorbs excess blood that may extend beyond the pink test square. Do not apply blood directly to the white pad.
Black Tip faces down and helps the unit determine when the strip has been inserted.
Confirmation Dot is read by the bedside unit to determine the sample’s glucose concentration. If it turns completely blue, this indicates that an adequate volume of blood was applied.
