Why Perform A Control Solution Test?
• To ensure that your meter and test strips are working properly
together.
• To allow you to practice testing without using your own blood.
It is recommended to do a control solution test:
• Once a week (to ensure that you continue to have
accurate results).
• When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
• When test strips are exposed to extreme
environmental conditions.
• If you drop the meter.
• If you change the battery.
