Contact bars must be inserted all the way into the meter or you
may get an inaccurate test result.
Every time you perform a control solution test, you must enter
into the “CTL” test mode so that the test result will not be stored
in the meter memory. Failure to do so will confuse the blood glu-
cose test result with the control solution test result in memory.
WARNING
STEP 3 Obtain Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial well. Re-
move the cap. 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 place the
drop on your fingertip first.
STEP 4 Apply Control Solution
Move your finger (with control solution on
it) to meet the absorbent hole of the test
strip and the drop will be automatically
drawn into the test strip. Remove your fin
-
ger until the confirmation window is filled.
The meter begins to count down.
To avoid contaminating the control solu-
tion with the content of the test strip, you
have to place a drop of control solution on
a clean surface or on your finger tip first.
Then touch the test strip to the drop.
