Evaluating The Test Result - Medisana MediTouch Instruction Manual

5.1.3 Evaluating the control test
result
The permissible range for the control
solution reading is indicated on the
label of the test strip container. Your
test result must lie within the range
indicated. Make sure that you compare
the test result with the correct range.
If the control test result lies within the
range indicated on the test strip
container, then the monitor and the
test strips are working accurately.
If the control test result does not lie
within the range indicated on the test
strip container, then the following
options will be displayed to rectify the
problem:
Cause
Has the test strip been lying around
open for a long time?
Was the test strip container
properly closed?
Did the monitor work properly?
Is the control solution soiled or has it
exceeded the expiry date?
Were the test strips and control
solution stored in a cool, dry place?
Did you follow the steps of the test
procedure properly?
