Why Do A Control Solution Test?
The control solution test tells you that your monitor and test
strips are working correctly. A control solution test is similar
to when you monitor your blood glucose or blood β-Ketone,
except you use a Precision or MediSense Control Solution. You
do not use a drop of blood in a control solution test.
When Is Doing A Control Solution
Test Recommended?
• When you question your results.
• To make sure that your monitor and test
strips are working properly.
