Comparing the Control Solution Test Results

The test result of each control solution should be within the
range printed on the label of the test strip vial. Repeat the
control solution test if the test result falls outside of this range.

not shaken well,
• W hen the meter, test strip, or the control
solution were exposed to high or low
temperatures,
• W hen the first drop of the control
solution was not discarded or the tip of
the bottle was not wiped clean,
• W hen the meter is not functioning
properly.
• W hen the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• W hen the control solution is past its
discard date (the date the bottle was
opened plus three (3) months),
• W hen the control solution is
contaminated.
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the
test strip vial, the CareSens N Test Strip and Meter may not be
working properly. Do no use your system and contact i-SENS
