STEP 8
Compare the result displayed on the
screen to the control solution range
printed on the test strip vial. A single
control solution test that is with
range is sufficient to show that your
meter and test strips are working as
intended. If the results you get are not
within this range, the meter and strips
may not be working properly. Repeat
the control solution test. If you get a
second control solution result, call the
local distributor. Do not use the meter
if it is not testing within range.
Out of range results may be caused by:
•
not following the instructions on this
USER’S GUIDE,
•
expired, contaminated or
watereddown control solution,
•
expired or damaged test strip,
•
control solution test done outside
20°C to 25°C(68°F to 77°F),or a
problem with the meter.
If you continue to get control solution
results that fall outside the range
printed on the test strip vial, do not
use the meter, the test strips, or
the control solution. Call the local
distributor.
