Performing an Offline Control Solution Test with Meter
Alone (not using iOS device)
When taking a Control Solution Test with meter alone, it is
important to set the test mode to "CTL," so that the result
will not be mixed up with your regular test results. Control
Solution Test results will not be saved in the meter's memory.
Please follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Insert the test strip to turn on the meter
Insert the test strip in the meter's Strip Port, and wait for the
Blood Sample Symbol to appear in the meter display.
Step 2: Press the Memory Button to
turn on the control ("CTL") mode.
When the "CTL" symbol appears, the
meter is in control ode and will not save
this test results in memory.

Step 3: Press the "Memory Button" again to turn off the
"CTL" mode and switch back to the regular testing
mode.
When the "CTL" symbol disappears from the meter display,
the meter is in regular testing mode and subsequent tests
will not be treated as a control solution test.
Step 4: Apply Control Solution
• Shake the Control Solution vial before each use.
• Squeeze a drop of Control Solution and place it in the vial
cap. For better results, it is recommended that you use the
second drop of the Control Solution (discard the first drop).
• Hold the meter and move the absorbent hole of the test
strip to catch the drop. Once the confirmation window fills
completely, the meter will start counting down. Please
leave the test strip blood samples when the countdown
begins.
Note: To avoid contaminating the entire vial of Control
Solution, do not directly apply Control Solution onto a strip.
Step 5: Read and Compare the Results
After counting down to "1" the Control
Solution test result will appear on the
meter display.
The result of the Control Solution test
should be within the range printed on the
test strip vial label. If the test result falls
outside the specified range, repeat the test, carefully
following the steps above.
