Hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards (see illustra-
tion).
Always hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards
when you are applying control solution to the test strip. Continue
to hold the meter with the test strip pointing downwards until you
have ejected it.
If you hold it so the test strip is pointing upwards or sideways or
you put the meter down with the test strip still in it, control solu-
tion can enter the meter and contaminate it.
