.
1. Insert the test strip to turn on the meter
Insert the test strip into the meter. Wait for the meter to display “ ”,
a flashing “ ”, and “GLU” / “CHOL” / “UA”.
2. Apply the control solution (g)
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use. Squeeze out the
first drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop and place it on
the tip of the vial cap. Hold the meter to move the test strip absorbent
hole to the droplet. Once the confirmation window fills completely, the
meter will begin counting down.
3. Read and compare the result
After counting down to 0, the control solution test result will appear on
the display. Compare this result with the range printed on the test strip
vial and it should fall within range. If not, please read the instructions
again and repeat the control solution test. With “QC” displayed, the
meter will store your test result in memory under “QC”.
