IMPORTANT: Please read this information and your OneTouch® Vita™
User's Handbook before using OneTouch® Vita™ Control Solution.

Intended Use

For use with the OneTouch® Vita™ Blood Glucose Meter and Test Strips to check
that the meter and test strips are working together properly and that you
are performing the test correctly.

Summary and Explanation

OneTouch® Vita™ control solution contains a known amount of glucose that
reacts with OneTouch® Vita™ Test Strips. The test result you obtain should fall
within the range of results printed on the vial of the test strips you are using.
m CAUTION: Control solution ranges printed on the test strip vial are
for control solution only. It is not a recommended range for your blood
glucose level.
m WARNING: Keep the meter and testing supplies away from young
children. Small items are choking hazards.
Do a control solution test:
• To practise the test process, instead of using blood.
• Once a week.
• Whenever you open a new vial of test strips.
• If you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
• If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose results.
• If you drop or damage the meter.
A control solution test that is within the expected range printed on the test
strip vial will tell you the meter and test strips are working together and you
are doing the test properly.

Test Procedure

Carefully read the instructions in your User's Handbook on how to perform
a control solution test.
