Why.Perform.Control.Tests
Performing a control test lets you know that the meter and test strips are working properly. You should
perform a control test when:
• You open a new box of test strips
• You left the test strip container open or you think your test strips have been damaged
• You want to check the meter and test strips
• Your test strips were stored in extreme temperatures and/or humidity
• You dropped the meter
• Your test result does not agree with how you feel
• You want to check if you are testing correctly
About.the.Control.Solutions
• Only use ACCU‑CHEK Aviva control solutions.
• The meter automatically recognizes the difference between the ACCU‑CHEK Aviva control solution and
blood.
• Write the date you open the bottle on the bottle label. The control solution must be discarded 3 months
from the date the bottle was opened (discard date) or on the "Use By" date on the bottle label, whichever
comes first.
• Do not use control solution that is past the "Use By" or discard date.
