Control solution results

your blood glucose history records.
1. Compare the number displayed on the PDM screen
to the range printed on the control solution vial.
2. If the number displayed is outside the range on the
vial, follow the control solution instructions about
retesting or call Customer Care.
3. If the number displayed is within the range on the
vial, tag the reading as a control solution reading
by pressing Tag. With Control highlighted, press
Select and then OK.
