Running a Control Test
For control testing, you’ll need your meter, a test strip, the bottle of control
solution, and a napkin or paper towel.
1. Insert a test strip with silver-colored bars into the meter, yellow window facing up.
2. Make sure the code on the meter matches the code on the test strip vial.
3. When you see the flashing drop on the display, press and release once to
select the L1 control. (Press it a second time if you want to select the L2 control.
See next page.)
Note: Control tests marked as L1 or L2 will not be stored in memory.
4. Briefly roll the bottle of control solution, open it, squeeze one drop onto a paper
towel, and wipe the tip of the bottle clean.
5. Touch and hold one drop of control solution to the edge of the yellow window.
When the test is done, the meter displays the test result.
When the test is done, if the meter shows the test result then “OK”, your results
are within range. If the result in not in the acceptable range and the meter shows
“Err”, see “Understanding Control Test Results” in this chapter.
6. Throw away the used test strip.
Level 2 Testing
Level 1 testing is all you need to do most of the time. If you think your meter or strips may not be working
correctly, you may also want to do a Level 2 test. Simply repeat Steps 3 through 6, using Level 2 control solution.
If you do not have Level 2 control solution, you can purchase control solutions separately.
