Chapter 2: Control Solution Testing
Why Run a Control Solution Test
We recommend that you
run the
EGV1.1
level 2 and level 3 control solution test
because it lets you know that
your meter and test strips are working properly to give reliable results. You should run the control solution
tests when:
You use the
EGV1.1
Blood Glucose Meter for the first time.
You open a new bottle of test strips.
You think the meter or test strips may be working incorrectly.
You drop the meter.
You have repeated a test and the test results are still lower or higher than expected.
You are practicing the test procedure.
