8. Performing a Control Test
There are 2 low control strips, 2 high control strips and a control strip
activation solution shipped with each Coag-Sense test strip kit.
Controls should be tested immediately upon receipt of each new lot
number. Extra controls may be ordered separately if more frequent
QC testing is required. Please note that your home testing service
provider may not include control strips in your supply shipment.
Note:
The following directions are for running a low control strip.
When this procedure is complete, run a high control strip. The
controls may be run in any order. The meter will display and store the
results in PT seconds only. The meter does not use or require results
from the control strips prior to running a patient test strip.
Note
: If an error message appears, consult the „Troubleshooting‟
section of this manual.
WARNING:
DO NOT move or touch the meter while it is
running a test. Unreliable results may occur.
