STEP 3 Obtain Control Solution.
Shake the control solution vial
well. Remove the cap from the
control solution bottle. Place
cap on flat surface. Squeeze
the vial, discard the first drop,
and wipe off the dispenser
tip to prevent contamination.
Squeeze the vial again to get
another drop and
apply the
drop to the top of cap.
STEP 4 Apply Control Solution.
While holding the meter, move
the absorbent hole of the test
strip to touch the drop of control
solution. Then the drop will be
automatically drawn into the test
strip. Make sure the confirma
-
tion window fills completely. The
meter begins to count down.
To avoid contaminating the con-
trol solution with the content of
the test strip, you have to place
a drop of control solution on a
clean surface. Do not directly
apply control solution into a
strip.
