Checking the System

You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens Control Solution(control A, B and/or C).
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known amount
of glucose and is used to check that the meter and the
test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution ranges
printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on
the meter to the CareSens Control Solution range printed
on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, you may conduct
a control solution test following the procedure on pages 22–24.
Notes:
• Use only the CareSens Control Solutions.
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first
open a control solution bottle, record the discard date (date
opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must be
done at room temperature (20–25˚C, 68–77˚F).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 8–30˚C(46–86˚F).
