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:
1. If “ ” 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.
