  • Page 8: Before Testing

    EFORE TESTING Each time you insert a test strip, the meter displays “CHK” and the test strip symbol. This tells you that the system is checking if the meter and test strip can work together. Checking with Control solutions Control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that reacts with the test strips. By comparing your control solution test results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is possible to check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly (it is not a recommended range for your blood glucose level).

  • Page 9: Important Control Solution Information

    Important control solution information • Only use control solutions supplied by DiME and always check the expiry date has not passed. • The control solution, meter, and test strips should all be at room temperature (25°C) before testing. • Shake the vial, discard the first drop of control solution and wipe off the dispenser tip to ensure a good sample for an accurate result.
