Quality Control
To assure accurate and reliable results, TRUE FOCUS Blood Glucose Monitoring System offers two kinds of
quality control tests, an Automatic Self-Test and a Control Test. These tests let you know that your blood
glucose monitoring system is working properly and your testing technique is good.
Automatic Self-Test:
The Automatic Self-Test lets you know if the meter and the Display is working properly.
Automatic Self-Test does not take the place of running Control Tests.
1. Insert test strip
into Test Port.
2. Full Display
appears. Check
for missing
segments.
3. Drop Symbol
begins to blink.
Meter may be
used for testing.
If an error message
appears, the
meter will not
perform a test. See
Troubleshooting or
call for assistance
(see Booklet cover).
Control Test:
We recommend performing Control Tests:
• before using your meter for the first time
• for practice to ensure your testing technique is good,
• when opening a new vial of test strips,
• occasionally as a vial of test strips is used,
• if results seem unusually high or low,
• if the test strip vial has been left opened, exposed to extreme heat, cold, or humidity,
• whenever a check on the performance of the blood glucose monitoring system is needed,
• if meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped, crushed, wet, etc.)
Performing a Control Test with more than one level of control solution is recommended to ensure that the
blood glucose monitoring system is working properly. Three levels of TRUE FOCUS Control Solution are
available. Contact place of purchase or use the number on the cover of this Booklet for more information on
how to obtain levels of control solution.
Use ONLY TRUE FOCUS Control Solution for Control Test.
Caution!
• Ranges printed on test strip vial label being used are for Control Test results only and are not suggested
levels for your blood glucose. Do not drink control solution.
