What is a Quality Control Test ?

To ensure proper monitoring function, it is necessary to regularly perform a quality control test.
Use one of the GE200 Control Solutions when testing your GE200 Blood Glucose Monitoring System in the Control 
Solution Mode. If the test result is within the Control Solution Range printed on the strip vial label, the GE200 Blood 
Glucose Monitoring System passes the Quality Control Test and your GE200 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is 
working properly.
