1.
Allow Control, vial of Strips and Meter to adjust to
59-86ºF (room temperature). Write date first opened
on Control bottle label and Strip vial label.
Note:
Running a Control Test at
temperatures outside the range
listed above may cause Control
to read as a blood test.
2.
Check dates on Control label and Strip
vial label. Do not use Control or strips if
Expiration Dates have passed (Control -
3 months after opening or date next to
EXP
on label, Strips - 4 months after
opening or date next to EXP on label).
3.
Swirl or invert bottle gently to
mix Control.
DO NOT SHAKE
!
4.
Open vial by pushing up under the
Test Port of the Meter. Remove one
Strip. Close vial immediately by firmly
pressing down on the top of the Meter.
Note:
Use Strip quickly after removal from
vial.
5.
Insert Strip into Test Port. Meter
turns on.
Note:
If Strip has been out of the vial too
long before testing, an error
message appears upon insertion of
the Strip into the Meter. Release and
discard old Strip. Use new Strip.
