Doing a Daily Check
Look through the small hole in the test
strip holder to make sure there is no lint,
dirt, or blood blocking it.
If there is anything blocking the hole, or
if the test area has dirt, lint, or blood
on it, remove the test strip holder and
clean the test area by following the
instructions in the next section. Then
do a check strip test (see page 14).
