5. Shake the glucose control solution bottle well, then squeeze it gently and
discard the first drop. If the tip clogs, tap the tip gently on a clean, hard surface,
then shake again and use. Squeeze out a second small drop on a clean
nonabsorbent surface. Touch the sample tip of the test strip to the control
solution drop. If the audio option is turned on, the meter will beep indicating a
test has been started.
Note:
•
Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bottle.
•
If you applied the control solution sample but do not see the starting of the
count down, you may reapply a second drop within 3 seconds.
6. Once a sufficient sample has been applied, then the meter display will count
down from 5 to 1 and then display the blood glucose test result. The glucose
control solution test results should be within the control range printed on the
blood glucose test strip vial (or on foil pouch). This means that your blood
glucose monitoring system is working properly and that you are performing the
procedure correctly.
