Checking The System With Control Solutions; How To Perform A Control Solution Test - Fora G20 Owner's Manual

CHECKING THE SYSTEM WITH
CONTROL SOLUTIONS
Our control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that react with
test strips. By comparing the result of your control solution test with the
expected range printed on the test strip vial label, you can check if the
meter and test strips are working properly, and if you're performing the
test correctly. It is very important that you perform this simple check
routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
Do a control solution test when:
1. you first receive the meter,
2. at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips,
3. you begin using a new vial of test strips,
4. you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly,
5. your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel,
or if you think the results are not accurate,
6. practicing the testing process, or
7. you dropped or think you have damaged the meter.
