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 symbol will be displayed on the
screen.
Step 2
Shake the CareSens Control
Solution bottle before each test.
Remove the cap and squeeze the
bottle to discard the first drop. Then
wipe the tip with a clean tissue or
cloth. After the symbol
appears on the display, apply the
solution to the narrow edge of the test strip until the meter
beeps. Make sure the confirmation window fills completely.
Note: The meter may switch off, if the blood sample is not
applied within 2 minutes of the
the screen. If the meter turns off, remove the strip, reinsert,
and start from step 1.

Step 3
A test result will appear after the meter counts
down from 5 to 1.
After your control solution result appears on
the display, press for 3 seconds till the 'check'
symbol appears on the display.
When the 'check' symbol is displayed, the result
is not stored in the meter's memory and is not
included in the 14-day averages.
Step 4
Compare the result displayed on the meter
to the range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within that range.
Used strips should be discarded safely in
appropriate containers.
Caution:
The range printed on the test strip vial is for the CareSens
Control Solution only. It does not have any connection to your
blood glucose level.

The CareSens Control Solution can be purchased separately.
