4. Understanding control test results

The label on your test strip vial shows the acceptable ranges for the 

smartLAB

®

nG

 

control solutions. The result you get should be inside 

this range. Make sure you compare the result to the correct level 
of control. When the control result is inside the range on the test 
strip vial, your test strips and your meter are working properly. If 
your control result is not inside the acceptable range (printed on 
your test strip vial), here are some things you can do to solve the 
problem:

Problem

Solution

Was the test strip exposed to open air for 
a long period of time?

Repeat the control test with properly
stored strips.

Was the test strip vial capped tightly? Or 
was test strip cap left open?

If  the  cap  was  not  tight,  or  the  bottle 
was left uncapped, open a new bottle of 
test strips. Do not reuse the strips from 
the affected bottle.

Does the meter work properly?

You can use the check strip to verify
the system‘s functions.

Is the control solution expired or conta-
minated?

Replace with new control solution
to  check  the  performance  of  your  glu-
cose system.

Were  test  strips  and  control  solution 
stored in a cool and dry place?

Repeat  the  control  test  with  properly 
stored strips or control solutions.

Did  you  follow  the  testing  steps  prop-
erly?

Read Chapter “Control Solution
Testing” again and retest.

Note:

  ”  is  not  set,  then  the  control  test  values  will  be  counted  into 

7/14/30/90 days average mode.
2. If “ 

 

 

 

 ” is set, the control solution values will not be counted into aver-

ages, but will be stored in the memory for review.
