Performing a Glucose Control Solution Test

®
Element NEO control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with
®
Element NEO test strip. By comparing your control solution test results with the expected
range printed on the test strip vial, you are able to check that the meter and test strips are
working properly, and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you
perform routine checking to ensure accurate results.
The Glucose control solution should be used
- Before using a new box of test strips.
- Whenever you suspect the blood glucose test meter or blood glucose test strip is not
functioning properly.
- If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms, or if you think
results are not accurate.
- If you have dropped the blood glucose test meter.
- For quality control in the point of care usage.
- For teaching or learning the system.
- When using the meter for blood glucose tests after any disinfection procedure.
Firmly insert the test strip into the meter test port. Insert
deeply in direction of arrow on test strip (arrow up). Please
do not insert the glucose test strip upside down.
When you insert the glucose test strip into the glucose test
meter, the power automatically adjusts the meter accordingly.
