Checking with Kiptrack Control Solution
Kiptrack control solution contains a known amount of glucose that
reacts with the test strip. By comparing your control solution test
results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label,
it is able to check that the monitor and the test strips are working
together as a system and that you are performing the test cor-
rectly. It is very important that you do this simple check routinely
to make sure you get accurate results.
How often should the control solution test be performed?
When you use this system to test your blood glucose for the first
•
time, practise the procedure using Kiptrack control solution. When
you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected
range, you are ready to test your blood.
For routine check of the monitor and test strips, perform a
•
control solution test at least once a week.
When should the control solution test be performed?
When you first get your monitor.•
When you begin using a new vial of test strips. •
Whenever you suspect that the monitor or test strips are not
•
working properly.
When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with
•
how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate.
When your test strips are exposed to extreme environmental
•
conditions (See Storage section of this manual).
When you want to practise running the test.•
If you drop the monitor.•
