Important Information About Performing
Control Solution Tests
The iBGStar Blood Glucose Monitoring System can be used
with BGStar Control Solution (control solution).
Control solution should only be used for 90 days after first
opening the bottle or until the expiration date printed on the
label, whichever comes first.
IMPORTANT: Count forward 90 days from the date you open
a new bottle of BGStar control solution. This is your discard
date. Write the discard date on the BGStar control solution
bottle.
CAUTION: Results from control solution tests do not refl ect
your blood glucose level. The control solution range is a
target range for control solution only. It is not a target range
for your blood glucose level.
The control solution is used to:
[1] Ensure that your iBGStar Meter and BGStar Test Strips (test
strips) are working together properly.
[2] Practice testing without having to use your own blood.
