Performing a Quality Control Test

The quality control test confirms that the test strips and meter are working together
properly. It also confirms that you are performing the test correctly. It is important to
perform this test:
•
Before you first use your meter.
•
Before using a new box of test strips.
•
When you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
•
When you suspect that your test results are inaccurate, or if they are
inconsistent with how you feel.
•
When you suspect your meter is damaged.
•
After cleaning your meter.
•
At least once a week.

turn on the meter and display all the display segments. If the audio option is on,
the meter will beep, signaling the meter is turned on.
2. Check the display to confirm that all the display segments turn on. Next, a dash
will move across the display.

3. Following this display check, the system will enter the test mode. The display
will show the date time and the strip icon with the blood sample icon blinking to
indicate that the test strip is inserted correctly.
