Performing A Glucose Control Solution Test - Gluceofine Blutzucker-Mess-System Benutzerhandbuch

Performing a Glucose Control Solution Test

The glucose control solution should be used when there is suspicion that the blood
glucose test meter or the blood glucose test strips are not working properly. For
example: if strips have been exposed to extreme conditions or if you drop the blood
glucose test meter.
Check the expiration date before performing a glucose control solution test.
Do not use if expired. Once opened, solution expires after 3 months.
The glucose control solution should be used
• Whenever you suspect the blood glucose test meter or blood glucose test strip is
not functioning properly.
• If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms or if you
do not think they are accurate.
• If you have dropped the blood glucose test meter.
• For quality control in the point of care usage.
• For teaching or learning the system.
1. Shake the glucose control solution before use.
2. Discard the 1st drop of glucose control solution, this will eliminate any residue.
3. Place a drop of glucose control solution on a clean dry surface (ex. The lid of the
blood glucose test strip vial).
4. Insert a blood glucose test strip into the port
and press the up arrow. A glucose control
solution vial will appear on the upper part
of the screen, above the date and time.
This will allow you to di erentiate between
a glucose control solution test and an actual
blood test for future reference.
5. Dip the blood glucose test strip into the glucose control solution.
6. Result appears in 5 seconds.
7. Compare the result to the range printed on the blood glucose test strip vial, the
results should fall within that range.
8. If your glucose control solution falls out of range, do not perform a glucose test,
please contact Metrado GmbH or your local representative.
