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 the range. Out of range results
may occur in the following situations:
Situations
• When the control solution bottle was not
shaken well,
• When the meter, test strip, or the control
solution were exposed to high or low
temperatures,
• When the first drop of the control solution
was not discarded or the tip of the bottle was
not wiped clean,
• When the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• When the control solution is past its discard
date (the date the bottle was opened plus
three (3) months),
• When the control solution is contaminated.
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test
strip vial, the VetMate Test Strip and Meter may not be working
properly. Do not use your system and contact Customer Service
at 1-800-429-5001 Mon–Sat, 9 am–9 pm EST. At all other times,
contact your veterinarian/veterinary surgeon.
