You may check your meter and test strips using the
KetoSens Control Solutions(control L and/or M).
The KetoSens Control Solution contains a known amount
of β -Ketone and is used to check that the meter and the
test strips are working properly.
KetoSens Control Solution ranges are printed on the
KetoSens test strip box. Compare the result displayed on
the meter to the KetoSens Control Solution range printed
on the test strip box.
Before using a new meter or a new box of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following the
procedure on pages 21–23.
Control Solution Testing
Step 1 Inserting Test Strip
Insert a test strip into the meter’s test strip port,
with the contact bars facing upwards.
Gently push the test strip into the port until the
meter beeps. Be careful not to bend the strip
while pushing it in.
Step 2 Activating Control Solution Test Mode
The symbol will show up.
Press and hold the
▶
button for 3 seconds to
activate the Control Solution Test Mode. This will
also flag the control solution test result. To undo
the control solution flag, press and hold the
▶
button for another 3 seconds.
You may do a control solution test:
• When you want to practice the test procedure using the
control solution instead of blood,
• When using the meter for the first time,
• Whenever you open a new box of test strips,
• If the meter or test strips do not function properly,
• If your symptoms are inconsistent with the blood β -Ketone
test results and you feel that the meter or test strips are not
working properly,
• If you drop or damage the meter.
