Checking the meter
62
Take a bottle of control solution and hold the
dropper tip downwards until a hanging drop
forms at its end. Gently touch the drop of
control solution against the front edge of the
test strip near the black notch until the
meter beeps and appears in the display.
The meter runs a test, then displays the result
and "CTRL".
Refer to the table on the label of the vial the
drum came in and determine if the value
is within the expected range. If the result is
outside this range, run another quality control
check. If the result of the second test is
outside the expected range as well, refer to
the "Troubleshooting guide" in Chapter 10.
If you are unable to identify or eliminate the
source of the problem, contact our
Accu-Chek Customer Careline. Please see
Chapter 12 for details of customer support
and service.
Control readings (identified by "CTRL")
are not used in statistical calculations.
