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

If it turns completely blue, this indicates that an
adequate volume of blood was applied.
