The meter counts down for 5 seconds before
the control test result displays on the meter.
The meter automatically marks the result as a
control test.
Control test results are not included in your meter
Logbook or in blood glucose Averages. Control
test results are not evaluated against any Target
Ranges.
10. Compare your control test result with the
range printed on the test strip bottle or on the
bottom of the test strip box.
11. Remove the test strip and dispose as medical
waste or as advised by your health care
professional.
If your result does not fall within the range listed on the test strip bottle
label or carton, there may be a problem with the test strips, the meter,
or your testing technique.
If your control test result is out of range, do not use your
