Control Solution Testing:
Use only Bayer’s CONTOUR
®
control solutions
(Normal, Low, or High) with your DIDGET™ meter.
Using anything other than CONTOUR control solution
could cause incorrect results.
You should perform a control test:
•
When using your meter for the first time,
•
To check if you are testing correctly,
•
When you open a new vial of test strips,
•
If you leave the test strip vial open for an extended
period of time,
•
If you think your meter may not be working properly, or
•
If your test results do not match how you feel.
Remove a test strip from the bottle.
Tightly close
the bottle lid immediately after you have
removed the test strip.
Check the expiration date. Make sure the test strip
does not appear torn or damaged.
Insert the gray end
into the test strip
port on the meter
as shown.
The meter will turn on.
An image of a test strip
with a flashing blood
drop will appear to let
you know the meter is
ready to test.
NOTE:
Gently rock the control bottle before opening to
ensure it is mixed well.
Squeeze a small drop
of control solution on a
clean nonabsorbent
surface (such as a
piece of wax paper).
Do not apply control
solution to the test
strip directly from
the bottle.
Immediately touch the
tip
of the test strip to the drop
of control solution. The solution is pulled into the test
strip through the tip. Hold it in the drop until the
meter beeps.
