Notes:
The control solution test is similar
to a blood test except that you use
Microdot® Control Solution instead
of a drop of blood. The control
solution ranges printed on the test
strip vial are for Microdot Control
Solutions only. It is used to check
the meter and test strip performance.
It is NOT a recommended range for
your blood glucose level. When
performing a control solution test
it does not matter which solution
you use first, the Low or High.
CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
Control Solution Test Procedure:
1. Shake Low Control Solution bottle
well before using.
2. Remove cap and discard the first drop
of Control Solution and wipe off the
dispenser tip to ensure a good sample
and an accurate result.
3. Insert a test strip into the Microdot Xtra
meter. Be sure the black contact bars
go into the meter. Push the strip in
firmly. Be sure it can go no further.

4. Invert bottle and squeeze out one
drop of control solution. Apply
the drop to the strip by bringing the
meter and the strip to the drop.
Touch the drop with the top edge
of the test strip and wait until the
test pad fills with the solution. Results
appear in 10 seconds.
