Control Solution 2. Control Solution 1 is sufficient for most self testing

Steps 4 through 6, using Control Solution 2. For confirmation of results,
Control Solution 1 tests should fall within the CTRL1 range, and Control

test results do not fall within the respective ranges, DO NOT use the
system to test blood, as the system may not be working properly. If you
cannot fix the problem, contact your dealer for help.
