7.
Slide the strip ejector to discard the test
strip. The display should also show a
pound sign (#) indicating the test is a
control solution test. This shows that the
number will not be counted in the 7, 14, 30,
60 and 90-day averages. The pound sign
(#) will also be displayed when reviewing
the results stored in the memory.
If the result falls outside the indicated
control range:
•
Confirm you are matching the correct range. Control Solution 1
results should be matched to the CTRL 1 range printed on the
test strip vial (or on the foil pouch).
•
Check the expiration date of the test strip and control solution.
Make sure that the test strip vial and control solution bottle have
not been opened for more than 6 months. Discard any test
strips or control solution that has expired.
•
Confirm the temperature in which you are testing is between 10
o
o
and 40 C (50-104 F).
•
Make sure that the test strip vial and control solution bottle have
been tightly capped.
•
Make sure the code number on the strip vial label or on the foil
pouch matches the code number that appears on the meter
display.
•
Confirm that you are using the same brand of control solution
that was provided with your kit.
•
Make sure that you followed the test procedure correctly.
After checking all of the conditions listed above, repeat the quality
control test with a new test strip. If your results still fall outside of the
control range shown on the test strip vial (or on the foil pouch), your
meter may be defective. Contact your dealer for help.
Two levels of control solution are available labeled Control Solution 1
and Control Solution 2. Control Solution 1 is sufficient for most all self-
testing needs. If you think your meter or strips may not be working
correctly, you may also want to do a level 2 test. The ranges for both
(CTRL 1 and CTRL 2) are displayed on the test strip vial (or on the foil
pouch). Simply repeat Steps 4 through 6, using Control Solution 2.
For confirmation of results, Control Solution 1 tests should fall within the
CTRL 1 range, and Control Solution 2 tests should fall within the CTRL
2 range. If the control solution 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.

The following steps show how to use the meter, test strips, lancing
device and sterile lancets together to measure your blood glucose
concentration.

The
On Call Advanced
Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires a
very small drop of blood which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm
(at base of the thumb), or forearm. Before testing, choose a clean, dry
work surface. Familiarize yourself with the procedure and make sure
you have all the items needed to obtain a drop of blood.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to testing, wipe the test site with an alcohol swab
or soapy water. Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary.
Then dry your hands and the test site thoroughly. Make sure there is
no cream or lotion on the test site.
