on the container label. Do Not use after expiration or discard date (date opened plus
three months), whichever comes rst.
t Shake the container, discard the rst drop of control solution, and wipe o the tip to
ensure a proper sample and an accurate result.

2. Control Solution Test for HbA1c
To ensure that the analyzer is functioning properly, you should regularly use control
solution for a control check. Make a habit of carrying out a control check in the following
situations:
t When you open a new test kit packaging.
t After replacing the batteries.
t After cleaning the analyzer.
t When you doubt that the measured values are correct.
A control check is performed in the same way as a regular measurement with the
dierence that control solutions are used instead of blood.
t Do not swallow control solution; it is not for human consumption.
t Do not apply control solution to the skin or eyes as it may cause irritation.
