Control Solution Testing

CAUTION: Use only Bayer's C
control solutions (Level 1 or Level 2) with
Bayer's C
ONTOUR
monitoring system. Using any other control
solution or any other combination of control
solution and strips can cause inaccurate results.
Quality Control
You should perform a control test when:
• Using your meter for the first time
• You open a new bottle or package of test strips
• You think your meter may not be working right
• You have repeated, unexpected blood glucose results
CAUTION: Check the expiration date on
the test strip bottle and the expiration date
and discard date on the control solution
bottle. DO NOT use expired materials.
Level 1 and Level 2 control solutions are available and
sold separately if not included in the meter kit. Always use
Bayer's C N control solutions. Other brands
ONTOUR EXT
could present incorrect results. If you need help locating
Bayer's C N control solutions, call Bayer Diabetes
ONTOUR EXT
