CareSens Control Solution:
You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens Control Solution.
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known amount
of glucose and is used to check that the meter and the
test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution ranges
printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed on
the meter to the CareSens Control Solution range printed
on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips, conduct a control
solution test following the procedure on page 23.
Note:
Use only the CareSens Control Solution.•
Check the expiration dates printed on the vial. When you first •
open a control solution vial, record the discard date (date opened
plus three months) in the space provided on the label.
Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at room •
temperature before testing. Control Solution tests must be done
at room temperature (20 ~ 25˚C, 68 ~ 77˚F).
Before using the control solution, shake the vial, discard the first •
few drops and wipe the tip clean.
Close the control solution vial tightly and store at a temperature •
of 8 ~ 30˚C (46 ~ 86˚F).
