To perform a glucose control solution test, proceed as follows:
1. Insert a new GLUCOFIX
drop icon starts blinking on the screen and the glucose icon "Glu" will be
shown at the bottom left hand corner of the display. If nothing appears on the
screen, remove the test strip, insert it into the test strip port again and wait
for the drop icon to start blinking.
2. Enable the CTL mode (§2.1).
WARNING
● If the CTL mode has not been enabled before performing the control
solution test, the result will be stored as a blood test and used for
calculating averages.
● Always enable the CTL mode before conducting a control solution test or
the results may fall outside the acceptable range. To enable the CTL
mode, simultaneously press the UP/DOWN (▲/▼) buttons for two
seconds while the drop icon is blinking on the screen.
● Once CTL mode is enabled, CTL mark is displayed together with "ctl"
message written in bigger characters on the main screen.
3. Gently shake the control solution vial before testing. Discard a drop before
use. Squeeze a drop of control solution onto a clean, hard, dry surface.
4. Touch the control solution drop with the tip of the test strip until the check
window is full. A beeper will sound (if enabled) as the countdown timer starts
on the screen.
NOTE
● The test will not start if you apply your control solution directly to the
check window. The test starts when the meter detects the control
solution. During the test the meter counts down from 5 to 1.
● Tightly close the control solution vial. Replace the bottle cap on the
control solution bottle immediately after use.
● Do not touch the test strip once the meter has started the countdown.
5. Check that your test result is within the acceptable range indicated on the
label of the GLUCOFIX
that no procedural errors were made, then repeat the control solution test.
