Quality control recommendation
To ensure that the instrument is functioning properly, you should regularly use two levels of control solutions for
a function check. For each test parameter, separate control solutions are available. Make a habit of carrying out a
function check in the following situations:
• If you leave the cap off the container of test strips.
• When you open a new container of test strips.
• Before using your meter for the first time.
• If you drop the meter.
• When your glucose test does not agree with the way you feel.
• When you want to check the way you are performing your blood glucose or total cholesterol test.
• When you want to check the performance of the meter and test strip.
• If you have repeated a test and the result is still higher or lower than expected.
A function check is performed in the same way as a regular measurement except that control solutions are used
instead of blood.
