6.2 Checking test strips with control solution
The control solution is used to test the complete blood glucose monitoring system. It
is used to check that the monitor and test strips operate together correctly and
whether the test is conducted correctly. It is very important to test with the control
solution to be sure that the monitor returns accurate readings.
CAUTION
Never use control solution from other manufacturers. It will be impossible
to check that your Beurer blood glucose monitor operates correctly with
other control solutions.
When is a test with control solution recommended?
•
You should have conducted three consecutive tests successfully with the control
solution before testing your blood glucose level for the first time. This will ensure
that you have mastered the testing procedure.
•
Once a week to ensure that the monitor and test strips work together correctly.
•
After opening a new test strip container.
•
If you think the monitoring system or the test strips may be faulty.
•
If you feel that the blood glucose monitor readings do not reflect how you feel.
•
If you have dropped the monitor or it has been subjected to any mechanical
stress.
•
At any time if you suspect that the glucose test results are incorrect.
One single test with control solution with a result within the results range is
sufficient.
