Performing a Control Solution Test
1.
Check control solution expiration date.
IMPORTANT: Do not use control solution past expiration date. Discard
control solution 3 months after opening or on the expiration date
printed on the bottle whichever comes first. (Example: open April 15,
discard July 15; write the discard date on the side of the bottle.)
2.
Remove test strip from vial.
3.
Insert test strip to turn meter on.
Note: The meter turns off after 2 minutes of inactivity.
Remove and reinsert the unused test strip to restart
the meter.
If the meter does not turn on go to Troubleshooting section.

Confirm System Check Screen.
•
This display appears when you turn on the meter. Do not use the meter if
the display check screen does not exactly match the example. Contact
Customer Care.
•
See The FreeStyle Freedom Lite® Meter and How It Works section for more
information.
•
If the system check screen does not appear, go to Troubleshooting section.
5.
Apply and hold control solution to 1 sample area of the test strip until:
•
You see short lines moving clockwise on the display or
•
You hear a beep
This indicates the test strip obtained enough control solution and the meter is
processing. If the test does not start after applying the control solution, go to
Troubleshooting section.
IMPORTANT: If a short line does not appear after 5 seconds, the
sample may be too small. Do not add control solution to both sides
of the strip. The test strips are for single use only. Do not reuse test
strips. Discard used test strips.
