Control Results
w WARNING
The control ranges are printed on
the test strip container label. If the
control result is out of range, check
this list to help solve the problem.
Troubleshooting Checks
Action
Were the test strips or control
solutions expired?
Discard the test strips or control solution if either
is past the use by date. If the control solution was
opened more than 3 months ago, discard it.
Repeat the control test with an unexpired test strip
and an unexpired control solution.
Did you wipe the tip of the control
solution bottle before use?
Wipe the tip of the bottle with a tissue. Repeat the
control test with a new test strip and a fresh drop
of control solution.
Were the caps on the test strip
container and the control solution
bottle always closed tightly?
Replace the test strips or control solution if you
think either was uncapped for some time. Repeat
the control test.
Was the test strip used
immediately after it was removed
from the test strip container?
Repeat the control test with a new test strip and a
fresh drop of control solution.
Were the test strips and control
solutions stored in a cool, dry
place?
Repeat the control test with a properly stored test
strip or control solution.
Did you follow the directions?
Read the chapter Control Tests and repeat the
control test.
Did you choose the correct control
solution level, either 1 or 2, when
you performed the control test?
If you chose the wrong control solution level, you
can still compare the control result to the range
printed on the test strip container.
Are you still unsure of the
problem?
