OneTouch II, OneTouch Basic, and OneTouch Profile Meters can distinguish between blood and control solution tests. If you are performing a control solution test, the meter will identify the test. If the “C (a number) CONTRL” message appears after a blood test, your blood sample was too small, smeared, or another drop was added after the test began. Repeat the test with a new test strip and a larger drop of blood.
