Applying the control solution

Once the meter has checked the test strip, the hourglass

icon disappears and you are prompted to apply control

solution.

Wait until the flashing drop appears in the display

before applying the control solution. The meter

beeps.

Apply a drop of glucose control solution to the

front edge

of the test strip. Do

not

apply the con-

trol solution to the top of the strip.

The control solution is pulled into the test strip by

capillary action.

Once sufficient control solution has been detected, the

meter beeps and the measurement begins.

Control Test

Control L2 (Hi) 123456
Strip Lot 545794

12:48 pm

03/17/17

When applying the control solution, position the meter

so that the test strip port is always higher or on the

same level as the control solution. This prevents any

excess solution from flowing down the strip and enter-

ing the meter.
