How To Test Your Blood Glucose; Preparing The Lancet Device - BD Logic Owner's Manual

Out-of-range results may be caused by the following:
• You may not be doing the test properly. Retest and follow the
instructions carefully.
• The BD Logic TM Blood Glucose Monitor may not be coded properly
to match the test strips being used.
• The control solution may have expired or have been contaminated.
Check the expiration date on the control solution vial. Control
solution is good for only 3 months after opening. Make sure the
control solution vial is closed when not in use.
• The test strip may have expired. Check the expiration date on the
test strip vial.
• The test strip may have been damaged. This can be caused by
extreme temperatures or by leaving the test strip vial cap open.
Retest using a new test strip.
• The BD Logic™ Blood Glucose Monitor may not be working
properly.
NOTE: If the control solution test result is outside the range
(is either higher or lower), your monitor and test strip may not be
working as a system. Repeat the test using a new test strip.
Do not use the monitor until test results fall within the appropriate
range. If the problem continues, call BD Consumer Services toll-free,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in Canada at 1.888.BDCARES
