8. Performing a Control Test
There are 2 low control strips, 2 high control strips and a control strip
activation solution shipped with each test strip kit. Controls should be tested
immediately upon receipt of each new lot number. Extra controls may be
ordered separately if more frequent QC testing is required.
Note: The following directions are for running a low control strip. When this
procedure is complete, run a high control strip. The controls may be run in
any order. The meter will display and store the results in PT seconds only.
The meter does not use or require results from the control strips prior to
running a patient test strip. If multiple boxes of test strips are purchased at
the same time and they have the same lot number, only one low and one
high control from that lot needs to be tested.
Note: If an error message appears, consult the ‘Troubleshooting’ section
of this manual.
WARNING: DO NOT move or touch the meter while it
is running a test. Unreliable results may occur.
Follow these steps to perform a test on a low or high control.
No.
