Control Solution Testing
FORA Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips
and is used to ensure your device and test strips are working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
✓ you first receive the device.
✓ at least once a week to routinely check the device and test strips.
✓ you begin using a new vial of test strips.
✓
you suspect the device or test strips are not working properly.
✓ your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or if you think
the results are not accurate.
✓ you have dropped or think you may have damaged the device.
To perform the control solution test, do the following:
1. Insert the test strip into the test slot of the device.
Wait for the device to display the test strip and blood drop symbol.
2. Press to select the desired user number.
3. Press to mark this test as a control solution test.
With “QC” displayed, the device will store your test result in memory.
If you press again, the “QC” will disappear and this test is no longer a
control solution test.
Important!
• When doing the control solution test, you have to mark it so that the test result will not
be stored in the memory. Otherwise, it will mix up the blood glucose test results with the
control solution test results in memory.
4. Apply the control solution.
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly
before use. Squeeze out a drop and wipe
it off, then squeeze another drop and
place it on the tip of the vial cap.
Hold the device to move the absorbent
hole of test strip to touch the drop. Once the confirmation window fills completely,
the device will begin counting down.
Note:
• To avoid contaminating the control solution, do not directly apply control solution onto
a strip.
5. Read and compare the result.
After counting down to 0, the test result of control solution will
appear on the display. Compare this result with the range printed
on the test strip vial and it should fall within this range. If the test
result is out of range, read the instructions again and repeat the
control solution test.
