Out-of-range results may be caused by the following:
• An error in performing the control test. Retest and follow the instructions carefully.
• The control solution may have expired or have been contaminated. Check the expiration date on the
control solution vial. Control solution is good for only 3 months after opening. Make sure the control
solution vial is closed when not in use.
• Expired test strip. Check the expiration date on the test strip vial.
• The test strip may have been damaged. This can be caused by extreme temperature or by leaving the
test strip vial cap open. Retest using a new test strip.
• Meter malfunction. The meter may not be working properly.

If the control solution test result is outside the range (is either higher or lower), your meter or test strip may
not be working properly. Repeat the process using a new test strip.
Do not use the meter until test results fall within the appropriate range. If the problem continues, call
A. Menarini Diagnostics for assistance: (UK) 0800 243667 - (Ireland) 1800 709903.
