Lifescan Pocket Scan Blood Glucose Monitor System - Manual (Page 59)

If the following message
appears on the display, your drop of
blood was too small,*or smeared, or
the test strip was not pushed all the
way into the test strip holder. Repeat
the test with a new test strip and
enough blood to cover the entire
test spot.
*In some cases in which a blood sample is too
small, the meter may also read it as a control
solution test and contrl may appear.
Note: If you are using event labeling,
remove and check the test strip after
you have linked the event label to your
test result. See “Event Labeling,” page
54, and “Insulin Recording,” page 56.
■ Remove the test strip from the meter
and look at the test spot. It should
still have a wet, shiny drop that
completely covers the test spot. If
the blood sample has a dull, dry
appearance, you may not have
applied enough blood, or you may
have smeared it.
