Control Solution Test
A control solution test should be performed when you are not sure of your results and want to
confirm that your meter and test strips are working correctly.
IMPORTANT:
•
Control solution results should fall within the control solution range printed on the test
strip vial.
•
Do not use control solution past its expiry date. Discard control solution 3 months after
opening or on the expiry date printed on the bottle, whichever comes first.
(Example: open April 15, discard July 15; write the discard date on the side of the bottle.)
•
The control solution range is a target range for control solution only, not for your blood
glucose level.
•
Use only FreeStyle control solution with this meter.
•
Replace the cap securely on the bottle immediately after use.
•
Do not add water or other liquid to control solution.
•
There are two levels of control solution available (Low and High).
Contact Customer Service for information on how to obtain control solution.
