Blood Application
How to check that you have applied the
right amount of blood:
Enough Blood
Test Strip
pink test
square
Front
white
pad
confirmation
dot
Back
Pink test square is where
you apply blood.
White pad absorbs excess
blood that extends beyond
the pink test square.
Confirmation dot is where
you check for adequate blood
application.
11
Front
Back
Apply a drop of blood to the
center of the pink test square
on the front of the test strip.
Check the confirmation dot
on the back of the test strip.
If the dot is completely blue,
this indicates you have
applied an adequate amount
of blood.
▲ CAUTION: Do not apply additional blood
to the test strip or you may get an inaccurate
result.
Too Much Blood
Front
If the white pad on the
front of the test strip is
completely saturated with
blood, you have applied
too much blood for an
accurate result. Repeat
the application using a
new test strip.
Not Enough Blood
Back
If the blue confirmation dot
on the back of the test strip
shows streaks or patches of
white, you have not applied
enough blood for an accurate
result. Repeat the application
using a new test strip.

Color Chart
The Color Chart on the test
strip bottle label shows the
approximate color of a test
strip confirmation dot for
50-mg/dL and 350-mg/dL
results. It also shows the offwhite shade of a new, unused
test strip.
Before a test, compare the
color of the confirmation dot from an
unused test strip to the “Unused” color
dot. If the confirmation dot is darker than
the color dot, do not use the test strip.
After a test, you may check the meter
result by comparing the confirmation dot
to the Color Chart. Do not use the Color
Chart as a replacement for a meter
result.

Troubleshooting
The SureStepFlexx Meter displays prompts
and error messages to indicate the system
has detected a problem. These messages
help in resolving some common problems.
However, the meter cannot detect all
problems. When the meter does detect a
problem, it may not produce an error
message every time the problem occurs. In
some situations, improper use may cause
an inaccurate result without producing an
error message. Refer to the SureStepFlexx
Meter Operator’s Guide for a complete list of
error messages and precautions.
For help resolving any problem, contact
