Control Solution Testing

Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose
that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your device
and test strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets may not
be included in the kit (please check the contents on your
product box). They can be purchased separately.
Do a control solution test when:
you suspect the device or test strips are not working
9
properly.
your blood glucose test results are not consistent with
9
how you feel, or if you think the results are not accurate.
you have dropped or think you may have damaged the
9
device.
To perform the control solution test, do the following:
1. Insert the test strip into the test slot of the device. Wait for
the device to display the test strip "
" ".
2. Press MAIN to mark this test as a control solution test. With
"QC" displayed, the device will store your test result in the
memory under "QC". If you press MAIN again, the "QC" will
disappear and this test is no longer a control solution test.
Important!
When doing the control solution test, you have to mark
it so that the test result will NOT mix with the blood
glucose TEST RESULTS stored in the memory. Failure to
do so will mix up the blood glucose test results with the
control solution test results in the memory.
3. Apply the control solution. Shake the control solution vial
thoroughly before use. Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off,
then squeeze another drop and place it on the tip of the
vial cap. Hold the device to move the absorbent hole of the
