The glucose control solution should be used when there is suspicion that the blood
glucose test meter or the blood glucose test strips are not working properly. For example:
if strips have been exposed to extreme conditions or if you drop the blood glucose test
meter.
Check the expiration date before performing a glucose control solution test.
Do not use if expired. Once opened, solution expires after 3 months.
The Glucose control solution should be used
• Whenever you suspect the blood glucose test meter or blood glucose test strip is not
functioning properly.
• If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms or if you think
they are not accurate.
• If you have dropped the blood glucose test meter.
• For quality control in the point of care usage.
• For teaching or learning the system.
1. Shake the glucose control solution before use.
2. Discard the 1st drop of glucose control solution, this will eliminate any residue.
3. Place a drop of glucose control solution on a clean dry surface (ex. The lid of the blood
glucose test strip vial).
4. Insert a blood glucose test strip
into the port and press the up
arrow. A glucose control
solution vial will appear on the
bottom left hand side of the
screen, above the date and
time.
This will allow you to differentiate between a glucose control solution test and an actual
blood test for future reference.
5. Dip the blood glucose test strip into the glucose control solution.
6. Results appear in 3 seconds.
7. Compare the result to the range printed on the blood glucose test strip vial, the results
should fall within that range.
8. If your glucose control solution falls out of range, do not perform a glucose test, please
contact your local representative.

CAUTION
• If your glucose control solution falls out of range, do not perform a
glucose test, please contact your local representative.
• The Glucose Control Solution range is not the recommended range for
your blood glucose level.
For example
If you use a normal glucose control solution, you must use the normal range printed
on the side of the blood glucose test strip vial.
• Results that fall outside the expected range may indicate:
• Test not performed at room temperature.
• An error in the way you are doing the test.
• Expired or contaminated glucose control solution.
• A problem with the blood glucose test meter.
• Glucose control solution that is too warm or cold.
• Failure to discard the first drop of glucose control solution and to wipe the
bottle tip clean.
• Failure to shake the glucose control solution adequately.
