CHAPTER 8 - CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
WARNING: It is important that your control solution tests are marked correctly, as test results
on your meter remote are used in ezCarb and ezBG Bolus calculations. Control solution tests
that are not correctly marked can be used in bolus calculations. This may result in suggested
bolus amounts that may be too high or too low, which can cause serious injury or death.
Your meter remote is now ready to perform a control solution test.

Prepare and apply the control solution.
Shake the control solution vial before each control solution test. Remove
the cap and squeeze the vial to discard the first drop. Then wipe the tip
with a clean tissue or cloth. Hold the vial upside down and gently squeeze
a hanging drop.
Touch and hold the hanging drop of control solution to the narrow channel in
Top
the top edge of the test strip. Make sure the confirmation window fills
edge
completely. Control Solution should not be applied to the flat face of the test
strip.

Read your result.
When the confirmation window is full, your
meter remote will count down from 5 to 1.
Your control solution result will then appear on the screen, along with the
date, time, unit of measure, and the words "Control Solution".
The control solution results can be viewed in the list of past results, but
are not counted in your result averages.
7
Check if the result is in range.
Compare the result displayed on your meter remote to the control solution
range printed on the test strip vial. Each vial of test strips may have a different
control solution range. If the results you get are not within this range, your
meter remote and strips may not be working properly. Repeat the control
solution test.
