Notes:
• Use the CareSens PRO Control Solutions and KetoSens Control
Solutions only with their corresponding test strips. The control
solutions are available for purchase separately.
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle.
• Make 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).
• Before 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 between 8–30˚C (46–86°F).
You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the control
solution instead of blood
• When using the meter for the first time
• Whenever you open a new vial or a new box of test strips
• If the meter or test strips do not function properly
• If your symptoms are inconsistent with the blood glucose test
results and you feel that the meter or test strips are not working
properly
• If you drop or damage the meter
