Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using the
Nipro Premier Control Solution.
The Nipro Premier Control Solution contains a
known amount of glucose and is used to check that
the meter and the test strips are working properly.
The Nipro Premier test strip vials have Nipro Premier
Control Solution ranges printed on their labels.
Compare the result displayed on the meter to the
control solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following
the procedure on pages 27–29.
