Q27.
Where can I find the control solution range?
The range of the control solution test is printed on the test strip vial or individual foil
pack, and your test should fall within this range. If the test result is out of range, read
the instructions again and repeat the control solution test.
Q28.
Reasons for abnormal results in control solution tests.

Outcome of value
Root Cause
Solution
1
The results might be higher.
Some residue is on the
c
ontrol solution’s carrier
(cap or tip).
Clean the carrier (cap or
tip of control solution) and
test again. This time use
the second drop of the
control solution.
2
The results might be lower.
(1) There are pollutants in
the control solution.
(2) Insufficient
control
solution is absorbed.
(1) Replace the control
solution
and
test
again.
(2) Please test again and
remove the strip only
after
hearing
the
“BEEP” sound from
the meter.
3
The results might be higher or
lower.
(1) It is not in the correct
user mode (e.g., not in
CTL
or
QC
Mode
during
the
control
solution test).
(2) You may be using a
different
control
solution.
(3) Control solution may
have expired.
(1) Choose the correct
user mode and test
again.
(2) Use ForaCare control
solution only.
(3) Discard after opening
90 days.
4
Large variance in between tests.
The temperature of the
strips
and
meter
is
unstable.
Please test again after
placing the strips and
meter
in
the
same
environment
for
30~60
minutes.
