reacts with test strips. By comparing your control solution test results
with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is able to
check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a sys-
tem and that you are performing the test correctly. It is very important
that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate
results.
How often the control solution test should be performed?
When you use this system to test your blood for the first time, prac-
tice the procedure using control solution. When you can do three
tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to
test your blood.
For routinely check the meter and test strips, perform a single test
for each level of control solution at least once a week.
