CONTROL TEST

1. Insert a test strip into the meter.

The meter turns on.

2. Make sure the code number on the display matches the code

number on the test strip container. If you miss seeing the code

number, take the test strip out and reinsert it into the meter.

3. Select the control solution you want to test. You will enter the level

later in the test.

4. Put the meter on a flat surface, like a table.

5. Remove the control bottle cap. Wipe the tip of the bottle with

a tissue.

6. Squeeze the bottle until a tiny drop forms at the tip. Touch the drop

to the front edge of the yellow end of the test strip. When you see

flash, you have enough control solution in the test strip. Wipe the tip

of the bottle with a tissue then cap the bottle tightly.

7. A result appears on the display, along with a control bottle symbol

and a flashing “L”. Do not remove the test strip yet. Press once to

mark it as Level 1. If you tested the Level 2 control, press a

second time.

8. Press to set the level in the meter.

9. “OK” and the control result alternate on

the display if the result is in range. The

range is printed on the test strip

container label. “ERR” and the control

result alternate on the display if the result

is not in range. Remove the test strip and

discard it.

10. Record result in QC log book.
