Control Solution Information
FreeStyle control solution can be used for three months after opening the
bottle or until the expiry date printed on the label, whichever comes first.
Important: Count forwards three months from the date you open a
new bottle of control solution. Write this date on the side of your control
solution bottle. This is your discard date, unless the expiry date printed
on the bottle comes first.
Example: You open the control solution on January 15th. Count
forwards three months to April 15th. This is the discard date that you
record on the bottle.
• Use only FreeStyle control solution with your FreeStyle Freedom Lite
system.
• Replace the cap on the control solution bottle immediately after using.
• Do not use control solution past the expiry date.
• Do not add water or any liquid to control solution.
• Control solution tests are specified to be accurate only when used
between 15 °C and 40 °C (59 °F and 104 °F).
• Control solution test results should fall within the range printed on
the test strip vial label.
Important: The control solution range is a target range for control
solution only. It is not a target range for your blood glucose level.
• If control solution results are out of this range, repeat the test.
• If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the range
printed on the test strip vial, do not use the FreeStyle Freedom Lite
system to test your blood glucose. Contact Customer Care.
Caution: Results from FreeStyle control solution tests do not
reflect your blood glucose level.
