Quality Control Test; When Should You Test The Device Using Control Solution; Performing A Test With The Control Solution - Diatesse Xper Handbuch

QUALITY CONTROL TEST

When should you test the device
using control solution?
You do not need to perform a test with the
control solution when first using the Diatesse
XPER.
• When you think that either the meter or the test
strips are defective.
• When your test results do not match the way you
are feeling, or when you believe the results are
not accurate.
• When performing a test.
• If you have dropped the meter or have reason to
believe it is damaged.
Test strips (c), control solution (d), lancing device
(e) or sterile lancets (f) might not be included in
the kit (please check the list of contents on your
product's packaging). These articles can be ordered
separately. Ensure that you have a sufficient supply
of all the articles you require for performing tests.
Performing a test with the control
solution
In order to perform a test with the control solution,
you require (b), (c) and (d).
1. Insert the test strip into the slot to turn
the meter on.
Wait until the meter displays "
flashing " ".
2. Apply the control solution (g)
Shake the bottle of control solution well before
use. Squeeze out the first droplet and wipe it
off. Squeeze another droplet onto the point of
the bottle's cap. Hold the meter so that the
absorbent opening of the test strip comes into
contact with the drop and absorbs the control
solution. Once the control window contains
sufficient control solution, the meter starts an
automatic countdown.
NOTE:
• For blood sugar and ketone tests the meter will
automatically recognise a test using control
solution as a QC test.
• In order to prevent the control solution
becoming contaminated, never apply it directly
to the strip.
3. Read and compare the results
Once the countdown to 0 is completed, the
result of the test using control solution is shown
on the display. Compare the result with the
range stated on the test strip packaging. The
result must be within this range of values. If
that is not the case, re-read the instructions and
repeat the test with control solution.
NOTE:
• The range for the control solution that is stated
on the test strip tube is only valid when control
solution is used. It is not a recommended
range for your blood sugar levels.
• See the section under MAINTENANCE for
important information concerning the control
solution.
