Taking a test
Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
Discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid
unintended lancet stick injuries. Used lancets and test
strips may be considered biohazardous waste in your
area. Be sure to follow your healthcare professional's
recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling the meter, test strips, lancing device and cap.
Testing with control solution
Control solution testing precautions
OneTouch Ultra® Plus Control Solution is used to check that
the meter and test strips are working together properly
and that the test is performing correctly. (Control solution

used to check your system.
• When you first open a new vial of control solution,
record the discard date on the vial label. Refer to the
control solution insert or vial label for instructions on
