Performing a Control Solution Test

The WaveSense Presto system has 2 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 WaveSense Presto Meter and Test Strips
are working together properly.
[2] Practice testing without having to use your own blood.

[1] First get your WaveSense Presto Meter.
[2] Begin using a new vial of WaveSense Presto Test Strips.
[3] Suspect that your WaveSense Presto Meter or Test Strips
are not working properly.
[4] Think your test results are not accurate.
[5] Have dropped or damaged your meter or exposed your
meter to liquids other than blood samples.
[6] Are advised by your healthcare professional to do so.
