When the flashing blood drop is
displayed on the display and the
beep sounds, you have approx.
90seconds to apply control
solution to the test strip.
Open a bottle of control solution.
Wipe the tip of the dropper with
a clean, dry paper towel.
Hold the bottle downwards at an
angle.
Squeeze it gently until a small
drop which is free of any air
bubbles is suspended from the
tip of the dropper.
Apply 1 drop to the centre of the
green field without touching it
with the tip of the dropper.
The field must be completely
covered with solution.
As soon as the meter detects the
control solution, you hear a beep.
The test starts. The flashing
hourglass symbol indicates that
the test is in progress. The test is
complete after approx. 5 seconds
and you hear a beep. The result
of the control test appears on the
display. The meter automatically
saves the result.
To distinguish this control test
from blood glucose results at a
later date, you need to mark it as
a control test.
