Control Solution Testing

Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that
reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your device and test
strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets may not be
included in the kit (please check the contents on your product
box). They can be purchased separately. Please make sure you
have those items needed for a blood glucose test beforehand.
Do a control solution test when:
9 you first receive the device.
9 at least once a week to routinely check the device and test strips.
9 you begin using a new vial of test strips.
9 you suspect the device or test strips are not working properly.
9 your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how
you feel, or if you think the results are not accurate.
9 practicing the testing process.
9 you have dropped or think you may have damaged the device.
To perform the control solution test, do the following:
1. Insert the test strip into the test slot of the device.
Wait for the device to display the test strip and blood drop
symbol. (c)
2. Press the Main button to mark this test as a control solution test.
With " " displayed, the device will store your test result in
memory under " ". If you press the Main button again, the
" " will disappear and this test is no longer a control solution
test. (d)
Important!
• When doing the control solution test, you have to mark it so
that the test result will NOT mix with the blood glucose TEST
RESULTS stored in the memory. Failure to do so will mix up the
blood glucose test results with the control solution test results
in memory.
3. Apply the control solution.
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use.
Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze another
drop and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the device
to move the absorbent hole of test strip to touch the drop.
Once the confirmation window fills completely, the device will
begin counting down. (e)
Note:
• To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly
apply control solution onto a strip.
4. Read and compare the result. (f)
After counting down to 0, the test result of control solution
will appear on the display. Compare this result with the range
printed on the test strip vial and it should fall within this
range. If not, please read the instructions again and repeat the
control solution test.
Note:
• Do NOT test your blood.
• The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for
control solution use only. It is not a recommended range for your
blood glucose level.
• Refer to the Maintenance section for important information
about your control solutions.
