The meter will switch off if the control solution
sample is not applied within 2 minutes of the
appearing on the screen. If the meter turns off, press S button
or button and start from step 2.

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 until the check appears on the display.
When the check 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
disposable containers.
Caution:
The ranges printed on the test strip vial are for

connection to your blood glucose level.

Comparing the Control Solution Test Results

The test result of each control solution should be within the
symbol
range printed on the label of test strip vial. Repeat the control
solution test if the test result falls outside of this range. Out of
range results may occur due to the following factors:
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 vial was
not wiped clean,
• When the meter is not functioning properly.
• 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 CareSens N Meter and CareSens N Test Strip may
not be working properly. Do not use your system and contact
Customer Service: 1-800-429-5001 (9 am - 9 pm EST, Monday -
