When to test with control solution
You may check your meter and test strips using the OneTouch® Select™ Control Solution.
OneTouch® Select™ Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose and is used to check that the meter and the test
strips are working properly. Remember which control solution you used.
 CAUTION: Do Not swallow control solution; it is not for human consumption. Do Not apply control solution to the
skin or eyes as it may cause irritation.
Do a control solution test:
– whenever you open a new vial of test strips
– if you suspect the meter or test strips are not working
properly
– if you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose
results
– if you drop or damage the meter
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouch® Select™ Control Solution with your
OneTouch® Select™ Meter.
• Control solution tests must be done at room temperature
(20–25°C). Make sure your meter, test strips, and control
solution are at room temperature before testing.
• Write the discard date (3 months after rst opening the
vial) on the vial when you rst open it.
