How to Test Control Solution

Use ONLY TRUE METRIX Control Solution with 

the TRUE METRIX Self Monitoring Meter and Test 

Strips.

1.  Check dates on control solution 

label and test strip vial label. Do not 

use control solution or test strips 

if expiration dates have passed. 

(Control solution - 3 months after 

first opening or date next to EXP on 

label; test strips - 4 months after 

first opening or date next to EXP on 

labels.) Discard expired products 

and use new products. 

2.  Allow control solution, vial of test strips and 

meter to adjust to room temperature. Write date 

first opened on both control solution bottle label 

and test strip vial label when using for the first 

time. 

3.  Gently swirl or invert control solution bottle to 

mix. 

DO NOT SHAKE!

4.  Remove one test strip from vial. Close test strip 

vial immediately. Use test strip quickly after 

removal from vial.
