GIMA Glucose Control Solution
The GIMA Glucose Control Solution contains a known concentration of glucose. It
is used to confirm that your GIMA Blood Glucose Meter and test strips are
working together properly and that you are performing the test correctly. It is
important to run a quality control test regularly to make sure you are getting
correct results.
You should run a quality control test:
 Before you first use your meter, to familiarize yourself with its operation.
 Before using a new box of test strips.
 When you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working
properly.
 When you suspect that your test results are inaccurate, or if
they are inconsistent with how you feel.
 When you suspect your meter is damaged.
 After cleaning your meter.
 At least once a week.
Refer to Performing a Quality Control Test on page 19 for instructions on
running a quality control test.
