perform a quality control test. A passing
control result indicates the system is
working properly. A control result that
is out of range indicates that the system
may not be working properly. Do not use
the system to test patient blood glucose unless
the control solution result falls within the
expected range.
• If patient symptoms are inconsistent with
monitoring results and procedural errors
are ruled out, follow your institution's
policies for treating the symptoms, and
confirm the glucose measurement with a
laboratory test.
• If you repeatedly get any error message,
obtain a result from a laboratory test.
Compare the test strip confirmation dot
to the colors on the test strip bottle Color
Chart, and if necessary, take appropriate
precautions while awaiting the lab result.
Do not use the Color Chart as a
replacement for a meter result.
