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 the range.
Out of range results may occur in following situations:
If results continue to fall outside the range, the test strip and
meter may not be working properly. Do not use your system
and contact Nipro sales representative.
Situations
• When the control solution bottle was
not shaken well,
• When the meter, test strip, or the
control solution were exposed to high
or low temperatures,
• When the first drop of the control
solution was not discarded or the tip of
the bottle was not wiped clean,
• When the meter is not functioning
properly.
• When the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• When the control solution is past its
discard date,
• When the control solution is
contaminated.

lancet more than once, and:
• Do not use a lancet that has been used by others.
• Always use a new sterile lancet.

Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may cause pain
or skin calluses (thick hard skin). Choose a different
site each time you test.
