Control Solution Testing

Step 1
Insert a test strip into the meter's test strip port,
with the contact bars facing upwards.
Gently push the test strip into the port until the
meter beeps. Be careful not to break the strip
while pushing it in.
The icon will be displayed on the screen.
Step 2
Shake the CareSens Control
Solution vial before each test.
Remove the cap and squeeze the
vial to discard the first drop. Then
wipe the tip with a clean tissue
or cloth. After the symbol
appears on the display, apply the
