Performing A Control Solution Test - Infopia Element Plus Owner's Manual

Performing a Control Solution Test

Element™ Brand control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that
reacts with All Element™ Brand test strips. By comparing your control solution
test results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial, it is able to check
the meter and test strips are working properly. It is very important that you
perform the check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
The Glucose control solution should be used
•Whenever you suspect the blood glucose test meter or blood glucose test strip
is not functioning properly.
•If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms or if you
think they are not accurate.
•If you have dropped the blood glucose test meter.
•For quality control in the point of care usage.
•For teaching or learning the system.
•When using the meter for blood glucose test after any disinfection procedure.
Firmly insert the test strip into the meter port with the 'Blue
color' facing up. Make sure the code number matches the
code on the strip bottle. The Element™ Plus automatically
adjusts the meter accordingly.

Performing a Control Solution Test
Check the expiration date before performing a control
solution test. Do not use if expired. Please note the
expiration date on the control solution bottle.
Gently shake the control solution before use.
Discard the 1st drop of control solution, this will
eliminate any residue.
Place a drop of control solution on a clean dry surface
(ex. the lid of the test strip vial).
Dip the test strip into the control solution.
Results will appear in 3 seconds.
Compare the result to the range printed on the test strip
vial, the result should fall within that range.
Caution:
The control solution bottle is at the very bottom left, not to be confused with the
medication bottle. This will allow you to differentiate between a control solution
test and an actual blood test.
