Control Solution Testing - i-SENS CareSens N Owner's Booklet

You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the control
solution instead of blood,
• When using the meter for the first time,
• Whenever you open a new vial of test strips,
• If the meter or test strips do not function properly,
• If your symptoms are inconsistent with the blood glucose test
results and you feel that the meter or test strips are not working
properly,
• If you drop or damage the meter.

Control Solution Testing

Step 1
Insert a test strip into the meter's test strip port,
with the contact bars facing upwards.
Gently push the test strip into the port until the
meter beeps. Be careful not to bend the strip
while pushing it in.
The symbol will show up.
Step 2
You can flag the control solution test result by
pressing the  button for 3 seconds. To undo
the control solution flag, press the  button for
3 seconds again.

Step 3
Shake the bottle before each test.
Remove the cap and squeeze the
bottle to discard the first drop.
Then wipe the tip with a clean
tissue or cloth. Dispense a drop
of control solution onto a clean
non-absorbent surface. It helps
to squeeze a drop onto the top of the cap as shown. After
the symbol appears on the display, apply the solution
to the narrow edge of the test strip until the meter beeps. Make
sure the confirmation window fills completely.
Note:
The meter may switch off if the control solution
sample is not applied within 2 minutes of the
appearing on the screen. If the meter turns off, remove the
strip, reinsert, and start from step 1.
