  4. Why Does Test Sometimes Start Even If Yellow Still Showing Capillary Window

Getting Started

Why does the test sometimes start even if yellow is still showing in the capillary window?

As soon as a sufficient amount of blood is applied to the test strip, the Accu-Chek Aviva meter automatically detects it and begins the test, even if some yellow is still visible in the window. The only time the user needs to apply more blood is when the blood drop symbol continues to flash in the display.
