Control Solution Testing
Running a control test lets you know that your meter and test strips
are working properly to give reliable results. You should run a con-
trol test when:
• You use the
smartLAB
®
sprint nG
Blood Glucose System for the
first time.
• You open a new vial of test strips.
• You think the meter or test strips might be working incorrectly.
• You drop the meter.
• You have repeated a test and the test results are still lower or
higher than expected.
• You are practicing the test procedure.
Note:
Professional users are instructed to follow federal, state, and
local guidelines concerning QC practices.
