Take another measurement using a new
test strip. If the result is identical:
seek medical attention immediately.
5.6 Functional check with control solution
The control solution is used to test the entire blood glucose monitoring system. This helps to de-
termine whether the monitor and the test strips are working optimally together and whether the test
was performed correctly.
Perform the control solution test if you suspect that the blood glucose monitor and/or the test strips
could be faulty or if you have repeatedly measured unusual blood glucose values. Also test the blood
glucose monitor if it has fallen down or is damaged. The control solution is available separately. Please
observe the additional notes in the Instructions for Use of the control solution for the test.
Important
•
Do not use third-party control solution. Correct functioning of your measuring device can only be
tested using Beurer control solutions (LEVEL3 + LEVEL4).
•
Control solution measurements: When using the device, specialist personnel must follow statutory
guidelines.
•
Do not apply any blood samples or control solutions to the test strips before placing these in the
measuring device.

Warning
To obtain correct results, the measuring device, the test strip and the control solution must be the
same temperature. For the “Functional test using the control solution”, the temperature is to be be-
tween 20 °C and 26 °C.
