Control Solution Testing
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of substance
that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your device
and test strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets may not
be included in the kit (please check the contents on your
product box). They can be purchased separately.
Do a control solution test when:
you suspect the device or test strips are not working
9
properly.
your test results are not consistent with how you feel, or if
9
you think the results are not accurate.
you have dropped or think you may have damaged the
9
device.
To perform the control solution test, do the following:
1. Power on the meter.
(Do NOT insert a test strip before powering on the meter)
2. Tap Measure or insert the test strip to start a
measurement.
3. Apply the control solution. Shake the control solution vial
thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop and wipe it
off, then squeeze another drop and place it on the tip of
the vial cap. Hold the device to move the absorbent hole
of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the confirmation
window is filled completely, the device will begin counting
down.
Note:
To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly
apply the control solution onto a strip.
4. Read and compare the result. After counting down to 1,
the test result of the control solution will appear on the
display. Compare this result with the range printed on
the test strip vial or individual foil pack and it should fall
within this range. If the test result is out of range, read the
instructions again and repeat the control solution test.
