Step 3: Remove the cap from the control
solution bottle. While the Apply Blood
symbol and Code No. (F-2, F-3 or F-4) are
alternating, place a very small drop on the
end of the test strip. The test strip will draw
up the solution and the meter will beep.
DO
NOT put control solution on top of the test
strip. The meter will begin to count down.
Step 4: In 7 seconds the meter will beep
again and display the control solution result.
Compare the result to the range printed
on the test strip bottle. Make sure the result
is within the acceptable range. If the result
falls within this range, the meter and test
strip are working correctly.
