Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using the
CareSens PRO Control Solution (Control L and/or H).
The CareSens PRO Control Solution contains a
known amount of glucose and is used to check that
the meter and the test strips are working properly.
The CareSens PRO test strip vials have CareSens
PRO Control Solution ranges printed on their labels.
Compare the result displayed on the meter to the
control solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following
the procedure on pages 22–24.
Notes:
• Use only the CareSens PRO Control Solutions.
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first
open a CareSens PRO control solution bottle, record the discard
date (date opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided
on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (20-25˚C/68-77˚F).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 8-30˚C (46-86°F).
