4. Understanding control test results
The label on your test strip vial shows the acceptable ranges for the
smartLAB
nG control solutions. The result you get should be inside
®
this range. Make sure you compare the result to the correct level
of control. When the control result is inside the range on the test
strip vial, your test strips and your meter are working properly. If
your control result is not inside the acceptable range (printed on
your test strip vial), here are some things you can do to solve the
problem:
Problem
Was the test strip exposed to open air for
a long period of time?
Was the test strip vial capped tightly? Or
was test strip cap left open?
Does the meter work properly?
Is the control solution expired or conta-
minated?
Were test strips and control solution
stored in a cool and dry place?
Did you follow the testing steps prop-
erly?
Note:
1. If " " is not set, then the control test values will be counted into
7/14/30/90 days average mode.
2. If " " is set, the control solution values will not be counted into aver-
ages, but will be stored in the memory for review.
Solution
Repeat the control test with properly
stored strips.
If the cap was not tight, or the bottle
was left uncapped, open a new bottle of
test strips. Do not reuse the strips from
the affected bottle.
You can use the check strip to verify
the system's functions.
Replace with new control solution
to check the performance of your glu-
cose system.
Repeat the control test with properly
stored strips or control solutions.
Read Chapter "Control Solution
Testing" again and retest.
