Understanding Out-of-Range Control Results

WARNING
The control range applies only to a control result. It only indicates that the test strips and meter are working
properly. Do not use a control result to interpret blood glucose results.
If the control result is out of range, do not use the meter until you solve the problem. Check this list to help
solve the problem.
Troubleshooting Checks
1. Were the test strips or control solutions
expired?
2. Did you wipe the tip of the control solution
bottle before use?
3. Were the caps on the test strip container and
the control solution bottle always closed
tightly?
4. Was the test strip used immediately after it
was removed from the test strip container?
5. Were the test strips and control solutions
stored in a cool, dry place?
6. Did you follow the directions?
7. Are you still unsure of the problem?
