Performing a Control Solution Test

1.
Check control solution expiry date.
IMPORTANT: Do not use control solution past expiry date. Discard
control solution 3 months after opening or on the expiry 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.
