Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens Control Solution (control A, B and/or C).
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known
amount of glucose and is used to check that the meter
and the test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution
ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result
displayed on the meter to the CareSens Control
Solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following the
procedure on pages 31–33.
Note
•
Use only the CareSens Control Solution (available for purchase
separately).
•
Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first
open a control solution bottle, record the discard date (date
opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the
label.
•
Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (20–25 °C).
•
Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
•
Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 8–30 °C.
