Using Control Solution
The
Omnitest
®
plus Control
solution is used to check
that the blood glucose monitoring system consisting
of the meter and the test strips is working correctly.
Use only
Omnitest
®
plus Control
solution for the
Omnitest
®
plus
monitoring system.
The control solution should be used
■
Whenever you suspect the meter or test strip is not
functioning properly.
■
If your blood glucose test results are not consistent
with your symptoms or if you think they are not accurate.
■
If you have dropped the meter.
■
For quality control in the point of care usage.
■
For teaching or learning the system.
To perform a control solution test, follow the same test procedure
as for a blood glucose test, substituting control solution for the
drop of blood. For detail instruction, see page 35 “Testing Your
Blood Glucose”.
