Checking the System

You may check your meter and test strips using the
KetoSens Control Solutions (level A and B).
The KetoSens Control Solution contains a known
amount of β-Ketone and is used to check that the
meter and the test strips are working properly.
KetoSens Control Solution ranges are printed on the
KetoSens test strip box. Compare the result displayed
on the meter to the KetoSens Control Solution range
printed on the test strip box.
Before using a new meter or a new box of test strips, you should
conduct a control solution test following the procedure on page
22–23 with two different levels of solutions (Control A and B).
Notes:
• Use only the KetoSens Control Solution (available for purchase
separately).
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first
open a control solution bottle, record the discard date (date
opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (68–77˚F, 20–25˚C).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
first 1 or 2 drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 46–86˚F (8–30˚C).
You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the control
solution instead of blood,
• When using the meter for the first time,
• Whenever you open a new box of test strips,
• If the meter or test strips do not function properly,
