Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using the
TEE2 Control Solution(control A and/or B).
The TEE2 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 TEE2 Control Solution ranges
printed on their labels. Compare the result displayed
on the meter to the TEE2 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 19-20.
