 Did you perform the test within the correct temperature range (+10°C to +40°C)?
 Did you use a test strip drum whose 90-day use-by period has not expired (see Chapter 6)?
 Did you observe the proper storage conditions for the meter, the test strip drum and the control solution
(see Chapter 24)?
 Is the control solution beyond its expiration date (see label on the bottle)?
 Has the control solution been open for more than three months? Once opened, control solutions are stable for three
months. They must not be used after this period.
 Did you use the correct quality control solution (Accu-Chek Compact Autocontrol)?
If you have checked these points and the results are still outside the stated concentration range, please call the Accu-Chek
customer care line (see Chapter 30).

Quality control results flagged with a bottle symbol are not included in statistical calculations.
i
In order for the meter to recognize the Accu-Chek Compact Autocontrol solutions automatically as control solutions
and to enable it to distinguish them from blood, the control solutions contain a dark dye. This is not poisonous. Avoid
getting the control solution on the table or your clothing. The dye is water-soluble. If you do happen to spill some, you
can wipe or rinse the dye away immediately with warm water.
i
You can dispose of empty or only partly used bottles of control solution with your regular household waste.
