• Do not add water or any liquid to control solution.
• Control solution tests are specified to be accurate only when
performed between 59° and 104° F (15° and 40° C).
• The control solution test results should fall within the range
printed on the test strip vial label.
If control solution results are out of this range, REPEAT THE
TEST.
Out-of-range control solution results
Out-of-range test results may be caused by:
• Expired or bad control solution
• Expired or bad test strip
• Error in performing test
• Watered-down control solution
• Code on test strip vial does not match code set in the PDM
• Malfunction of the OmniPod System
• Control solution test done outside 59º to 104ºF (15º to 40ºC)
If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the
range printed on the test strip vial:
1. The OmniPod System may not be working properly.
2. Do not use the System to test your blood glucose.
3. Call Customer Support, 800-591-3455, 24 hours/7 days
(from outside the United States, 781-457-5098).
Use only FreeStyle® control solution with the
OmniPod System. Other brands of control solu-
tion may produce inaccurate results with this
System.
Do not use control solution past the expiration
date or you may get inaccurate results.
Results from FreeStyle® control solution tests do
not reflect your blood glucose level.
The control solution range is a target range for control
solution only. It is not a target range for your blood
glucose.
