CAUTION
- Your Control Solution Test results will not be included in the average calculations, however, they can still can be

- The Control Solution Test should be conducted between 43-111°F (6-44°C).

This could contaminate the meter via the test strip port.
- Keep the test strip port clean and dry. Clean immediately if the test strip port is stained or is overly
exposed to moisture.
- Do not touch the tip of the control solution bottle. If the tip is touched, clean with water.
