Step 2. Apply Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial well. Remove the cap.
Squeeze the vial, discard the first drop, and wipe off
the dispenser tip. Squeeze the vial again to get
another drop and place the drop on your finger tip first.
Then, apply the drip to the absorbent hole of the test
(where it meets the narrow channel) until the drop is
drawn into the test strip and the confirmation window is filled. The meter begins to count down.
CAUTION! To avoid contaminating the control solution with the content of
the test strip, you have to place a drop of control solution on a clean
surface or on your finger tip first. Do not directly apply control solution
into a strip.
Step 3. Display test result
After counting to 0, the control solution test result appears.
Compare the result with the range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within this range.
Out of Range Results
If test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, check the “Problem Solving Guide,”
below and repeat the test. IF you continue to get out of range results, it means that the system may
not be working properly. Do NOT test your blood. Contact an IDEAL LIFE™ customer representative at
