Performing a Quality Control Test
The quality control test confirms that the test strips and meter are working together
properly. It also confirms that you are performing the test correctly. It is important to
perform this test:

Before you first use your meter.

Before using a new box of test strips.

When you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.

When you suspect that your test results are inaccurate, or if they are
inconsistent with how you feel.

When you suspect your meter is damaged.

After cleaning your meter.

At least once a week.
1. Insert a test strip into the strip port, contact bars end first and facing up. It will
turn on the meter and display all the display segments. If the volume > 0, the
meter will say “
Power On ,” signaling the meter is turned on.
2. Check the display to confirm that all the display segments turn on. Next, a dash
will move across the display, and the meter will say “ Please Wait .”
3. Following this display check, the system will enter the test mode. The display
will show the date time and the strip icon with the blood sample icon blinking to
indicate that the test strip is inserted correctly, and voice “
Please apply blood
to the test strip .”
