NOTE
• Use GLUCOCARD Shine Control Solutions
only
(available
for purchase separately).
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When the
control solution bottle is first opened, record the discard
date (date opened plus three (3) months) in the space
provided on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips and control solutions are
at room temperature before testing. Control solution tests
must be done at room temperature, 68–77ºF (20–25ºC).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard
the first 1 or 2 drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 46–86ºF (8–30ºC).
Checking the System
The GLUCOCARD Shine Connex Meter and
GLUCOCARD Shine Blood Glucose Test Strips
should be checked using GLUCOCARD Shine Control
Solutions, available in two levels (Level 1 and 2).
GLUCOCARD Shine Control Solutions contain known
amounts of glucose, and are used to check that the
meter and test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have GLUCOCARD Shine Control
Solution ranges printed on their labels.
Compare the test result displayed on the meter to the
GLUCOCARD Shine Control Solution range printed on
the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or new vial of test strips,
you should conduct a control solution test following
the procedure on pages 29-31.
