Checking the System

You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens Control Solution(control A and/or B).
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known
amount of glucose and is used to check that the meter
and the test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution
ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result
displayed on the meter to the CareSens Control
Solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following the
procedure on pages 20-21.
Notes:
• U se only the CareSens Control Solution (available free from
Spirit Healthcare).
• C heck the expiration dates printed on the bottle. When you
first open a control solution bottle, record the discard date
(date opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on
the label.
• M ake sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (20-25°C/68-77°F).
• B efore using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature of 8-30˚C (46-86°F).
