Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for determining the proper positioning of a test strip includes a test strip having a first reading window and a strip holder. The system further includes a meter, the meter receiving and configured to receive the test strip, the meter having a first light source of a first color and a second light source of a second color and a first read window. The meter is configured to illuminate the first light source; detect a first reflectance with the meter through the first read window; and determine if the first reflectance is greater than a no-strip value.
