Step 2: Apply blood sample W ith the T est Strip in the Meter and apply sample on the display , apply a drop of blood to the T est Spot.

If not, you may have accidentally changed the display language and unit of m[...]

6. AFTER TESTING Although the ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® System requires only a small drop of blood, it is very important that the drop be large enough to cover the T est Spot completely . In many cases, the Meter can detect if the drop of blood was too small to give an accurate reading. If not enough blood retest or c 5 . 8 (example) contrl appears on [...]

Checking the Amount of Blood on the T est Strip The Meter cannot always tell if a sample is too small, so it is impor- tant that you also look at the T est Strip to make sure that you applied enough blood. ■ Remove the T est Strip from the Meter and look at the T est Spot. It should still have a wet, shiny dr op that completely covers the circle.[...]

If there are any white patches or streaks, you may have smeared the blood or the drop was too small. In either case, you may have an inaccurately low result. Repeat the test with a new T est Strip.
