Applying Control Solution to the Test Strip
▲ CAUTION: Applying too much or too little control
solution may cause out-of-range results.
8 Apply the control solution as follows:
• Gently shake the control solution vial.
• Touch a drop of control solution to the center of
the pink test square .
If the white pad becomes completely saturated,
you have applied too much control solution.
Repeat the application with a new test strip.
• Wipe the control solution vial tip with a lint-
free cloth before replacing the cap.
9
Check the confirmation dot on the back of the
test strip to verify it has turned completely
blue, indicating an adequate amount of control
was applied.
If white patches or streaks are visible, you have not
applied enough control solution. Repeat the
application with a new test strip.
