Correct Test Strip Appearance
Although only a small amount of blood is needed, it is
very important that you put enough blood on the test

This ensures that the meter can produce
accurate and reliable results.
Very small amounts of blood may give you an error
message or an inaccurate result (see “Error Messages”).
Repeat the test.

completely filled with blood.

inaccurate result).
