4. Understanding control test results
The label on your test strip vial shows the acceptable ranges for
the smartLAB
inside this range. Make sure you compare the result to the cor-
rect level of control. When the control result is inside the range
on the test strip vial, your test strips and your meter are working
properly. If your control result is not inside the acceptable range
(printed on your test strip vial), here are some things you can do
to solve the problem:
Problem
Was the test strip exposed to open air
for a long period of time?
Was the test strip vial capped tightly?
Or was test strip cap left open?
Is the control solution expired or con-
taminated?
Were test strips and control solution
stored in a cool and dry place?
Did you follow the testing steps prop-
erly?
Note:
1. If " " is not set, then the control test values will be counted into
7/14/30/90 days average mode.
2. If " " is set, the control solution values will not be counted into
averages, but will be stored in the memory for review.

Solution
Repeat the control test with properly
stored strips.
If the cap was not tight, or the bottle
was left uncapped, open a new bottle
of test strips. Do not reuse the strips
from the affected bottle.
Replace with new control solution
to check the performance of your glu-
cose system.
Repeat the control test with properly
stored strips or control solutions.
Read Chapter "Control Solution
Testing" again and retest.
