█ Performing a Control Solution Test
NOTE: The code number on the picture above is for the example only. The code number can be different for each
test strip batch.
1. Insert the test strip with black lines facing upwards and pointing towards the test strip port. Make sure
to firmly and completely insert the test strip into the meter. The meter will turn on automatically and the
code number will appear on the screen. Verify that the code number displayed matches with the code
number on the vial or the foil packet of the Medisign KT26 blood β-ketone test strips. The code number
on the picture above is for the example only. The code can be different for each test strip batch. If the
two code numbers do NOT match, contact Customer Service.
2. When the blood drop symbol appears on the screen, shake the control solution vial well. Remove
the cap. Squeeze the vial, discard the first drop and wipe off the dispenser tip with a clean tissue to
ensure an accurate result. If large bubbles appear at the tip of the vial, wipe the bubbles off before
applying a drop of control solution to the test strip. Then squeeze the vial again to receive a drop. Apply
this drop of control solution to a clean and non-absorbent base. Close the lid of the control solution vial
immediately after use.
3. Bring the test strip gently to the drop of control solution so the sampling end of the test strip touches the
control solution. The drop of control solution will be drawn in automatically by the test strip.
IMPORTANT
4. When the test strip measurement chamber is full, the meter will beep. The meter will count down from
eight (8) seconds and then show the control test result. Make sure the test result on the screen is between
the ranges printed on your Medisign KT26 blood β-ketone test strip box or vial.
5. You can flag the control solution symbol by pressing the < or > button with the test result on the
display and the test strip still in the meter.
6. Eject the test strip into a proper waste container.
NOTE: Mark all control solution tests with the control solution symbol to distinguish them from blood β-
ketone test results in the meter memory.
• Replace the cap of the control solution immediately after use.
• Do NOT apply control solution to the test strip directly from the vial.
