Troubleshooting Out-of-Range Control Test Results
Repeat the test for that control solution and make sure that the operator meets the conditions in this checklist:
Eliminate any air bubbles in the control bottle’s tip. •
Wipe the control solution nozzle with a clean gauze or tissue before and after each test. Liquid left on the tip from •
previous tests may have a Glucose or β-ketone concentration higher than expected.
Calibrate the monitor using the bar code for the test strip used. •
Scan or enter the correct 5-digit lot number for the control solutions. •
Confirm that control solutions and test strips have been stored within the ranges specified on their respective •
cartons and package inserts.
Check that the temperature conditions in the room where the tests are being performed are within the acceptable •
operating range as specified in the Test Strip package insert.
Check that the bottles of control solutions have not been open for more than 90 days. •
Use a new test strip for each test. •
Use only Precision Xceed Pro Test Strips or Precision PCx Plus Test Strips. •
Use only MediSense, Precision or Optium Control Solutions. •
Confirm that the control solution tested (low or high) matches the level requested on the display. •
If test results are out of range despite meeting the above criteria, please repeat the test using a new box of
control solutions and/or test strips. If the results are still out of range, contact your local Abbott Diabetes Care office
or distributor.
