drop. If the tip clogs, tap the tip gently on a clean, hard
surface. Then shake again and use. Squeeze out a
second small drop on a clean nonabsorbent surface.
Touch the sample tip of the test strip to the control
solution drop. If the audio option is turned on, the meter
will beep. It indicates a sufficient sample has been
applied.
Notes
:
•
Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bottle.
•
If the control solution sample does not fill the check window, do not add a
second drop. Discard the test strip and start over with a new test strip.
5. Once a sufficient sample has been applied, the meter display will count down
from 5 to 1. Then the result and a control solution symbol will be displayed on
the screen. The control solution test results should be within the control range
(CTRL 1). The control range (CTRL 1) is printed on the test strip vial (or on the
foil pouch). This means that your blood glucose monitoring system is working
properly. This also means that you are performing the procedure correctly.
Test results are displayed either in mmol/L or mg/dL depending on the unit of
measure most common in your country. The meter will be set to mg/dL by
default when sold in the United States.
Note
:
The control solution range is the expected range for the control solution
results. It is not a recommended range for a blood glucose level.
6. Slide forward the strip ejector to discard the used 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 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
