• Control Testing and Quality Control
100
If you are using a new test strip lot and have not inserted
the test strip code chip yet, you must do so now. Other-
wise you cannot perform a quality control test.
As with the test strips, a quality control code chip is also
provided with the control solutions. This chip informs the
meter about the acceptable ranges of results for that lot
of controls. The information on the code chip is retained
in the memory so you can use the same control solutions
at any time.
10 Select the code stored for your current control solu-
tion, or touch New Code to use a new control solu-
tion.
If you are using a new control solution, remove the strip
code chip from the meter and insert the code chip that
came with the control solution instead.
The first time you run a control, the meter skips this QC
Test
screen option because there are no code chip
parameters in memory yet. The next time you use the
control, this screen will display, offering you a pick of
the code(s) already stored as well as the option
New
Code .
If the code chips get mixed up, check the letter on the
code chips to tell them apart. A capital S in front of the
number indicates that this code chip is for test strips. A
capital C in front of the number indicates that it is a
control solution code chip.
