Prestige IQ - Quality Control Testing

Section 3 Check The System
There are two types of Quality Control tests to
assure that the System is working properly and
testing technique is good.
•
Standard Strip test uses a hard gray plastic strip
(Standard Strip). The Standard Strip does not
have a lot number or an expiration date, and can
be used with any Meter Code.
•
Glucose Control test uses a

liquid
(Glucose Control) that contains a known amount
of glucose. Glucose Control is available in both
Low
À and High Á levels.
These tests should be performed:
• When using the Meter for the first time
• When using a new vial of Test Strips
• When results do not ‘agree’ with how you feel
• When you suspect that results are incorrect
• To practice using the System
• After cleaning the Meter or replacing the Test
Strip Platform
