Comparing the Control Solution Test Results
The test result of each control solution should be within the
range printed on the label of the test strip vial. Repeat the
control solution test if the test result falls outside of this range.
Out of range results may occur due to the following factors:
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the
test strip vial, the CareSens N Test Strip and Meter may not be
working properly. Do no use your system and contact i-SENS
sales representative.
Caution:
To avoid infection when drawing a sample, use a
lancet only one time, and:
• Do not use a lancet that has been used by others.
• Always use a new sterile lancet.
• Keep the lancing device clean.
Note:
Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may
cause pain or skin calluses (thick hard skin). Choose a
different site each time you test.
Using the Lancing Device
You will need a lancing device in order to collect a blood
sample.
You may use the lancing device contained in the CareSens
N Blood Glucose Monitoring System or any other medically
approved lancing device.
• The lancing device may not be used by more than one
individual. Ensure the lancing device is not shared among
different users.
• Use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the lancing device.
If necessary, a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth or
tissue may be used.
