monitoring system.
Using anything other than C

You should perform a control test:

• If you think your meter may not be working properly
• If you have repeated unexpected blood glucose results
Control Solution Testing

2. Remove a test strip from the bottle and firmly snap the
lid closed.
NOTE: Check the expiry date on the test strip bottle and
the expiry and discard dates on control solution. Do not use
expired materials.
3. Hold the test strip with the
grey end facing up.
4. Insert the grey end into the
test strip port on the meter.

and sold separately. Always use C

solutions. Other brands could present incorrect results.

Control Solution Testing
The meter will turn on. An
image of a test strip with
a flashing blood drop will
appear letting you know the
meter is ready to test.
6. Squeeze a small drop of
control solution on a clean,
nonabsorbent surface,
such as a piece of wax
paper. Do not apply
control solution to your
fingertip or to the test
strip directly from the
bottle.
7. Immediately touch the tip
of the test strip to the drop
of control solution. The
solution is pulled into the test
strip through the tip.
8. Hold it in the drop until the meter beeps.
5. Gently rock the control bottle before opening to ensure it
is mixed well.
