Using the control solution

will find out whether your monitor and test strips work
properly and deliver exact readings.
You should perform a test in the following cases:
• You are using the monitor for the first time.
• You have a new container of test strips.
• You suspect the monitor or test strips might not be
working properly.
• The monitor has been dropped.
• You have repeated a test and the results are still
lower or higher than you expected.
• You are practicing the test procedure.
