How to Test Glucose Control
1. Wash hands with soap and water, dry
thoroughly. Allow Control, vial of Strips and
Meter to adjust to room temperature
(20-25ºC). Write date first opened on Control
Label and/or Strip vial label.
2.
Check dates on Control label and Strip vial label.
Do not use Control if 3 months past written
opened date or past date printed next to
symbol. Do not use Strips 120 days past written
opened date or past date printed next to
symbol. Discard out-of-date products and
use new products if either date has passed.
3. Swirl or invert bottle gently to
mix Control. DO NOT SHAKE!
4.
Remove Strip from vial.
Recap vial immediately.
Note:
Use Strip quickly after
removal from vial. Strips that
have been left out of vial too
long will give an error
message. If error message
appears in Display, discard
old Strip and test with new
Strip.
5. Insert Test Strip Contact End
(Contacts facing up) into Test Port.
Meter turns on. Keep Strip in Meter
until testing is finished.
