Performing a Control Solution Test

The AgaMatrix Presto system has 2 different levels of control
solution: normal and high. Select the level of control solution
you want to use.
The control solution is used to:
[1] Ensure that your AgaMatrix Presto Meter and Test Strips
are working together properly.
[2] Practice testing without having to use your own blood.
Control solution tests should be performed when you:
[1] First get your meter.
[2] Suspect that your meter or test strips are not working
properly.
[3] Think your test results are not accurate.
[4] Have dropped or damaged your meter or exposed your
meter to liquids.
[5] Are advised by your healthcare professional to do so.
Control solution should only be used for 90 days after first
opening the bottle or until the expiration date printed on the
label, whichever comes first.

IMPORTANT: Count forward 90 days from the date you
open a new bottle of AgaMatrix Control Solution. This is
your discard date. Write the discard date on the AgaMatrix
Control Solution bottle.
Important AgaMatrix Control Solution information:
[1] Use only AgaMatrix Control Solution with your AgaMatrix
Presto System.
[2] Replace the cap on the control solution bottle
immediately after use.
[3] Do not add water or any other liquid to control solution.
[4] Control solution tests should be performed within the
system operating temperature range of 50 °F to 104 °F (10 °C
to 40 °C).
How to perform a control solution test:
[1] Inserting an AgaMatrix
Presto Test Strip: Gently
insert a new AgaMatrix Presto
Test Strip into the meter. The
meter will be activated.
[2] Meter Ready For Test: The meter now displays the blood
drop and test strip symbols. The AgaMatrix Presto System is
now ready for you to apply control solution. You do not need to
set a calibration code for this meter.
