Checking the System with the Control Solution

Note:

The

finetest

Control Solution is sold separately. Both, the low and high level control solution can be obtained through

Infopia Co., Ltd.

Refer to the

finetest

Control Solution package for additional information.

The

finetest

Control Solution is used to check that the Meter and the Test Strips are working together as a system and that you are

performing the test correctly. It is very important that the control solution is used routinely to make sure that you receive accurate results.

The

finetest

Control Solution contains a measured amount of glucose that reacts with the

finetest

Test Strips. Compare your control

solution test results with the expected range printed on the Strip vial label.

The

finetest

Control Solution should be used to:

Practice the test procedure.

Make sure your meter and test strips are working together properly.

Ensure you are performing the test correctly.

Before you use the

finetest

Meter to test your blood for the first time, practice the procedure using the control solution.

When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood.

Do a control solution test:

When a new vial of test strips are opened.

Any suspicion that the meter or test strips are not working properly.

When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your symptoms, or if you think they are not accurate.

If you drop the meter.

Use routinely to obtain accurate results.

The control solution test is similar to a blood test except that you use the

finetest

Control Solution instead of a drop of blood.

Code numbers are used to calibrate the

finetest

Meter with the

finetest

Test Strips for accurate results. You must code the meter

before using it. Confirm the code number for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of test strips.

STEP 1

Insert the

finetest

Test Strip to turn on the Meter. Push it all the way in until it will go no further. Avoid

bending the test strip. The code number will appear on the LCD window for 3 seconds. Compare the
code number (example: C20) on the Meter

’

s LCD window with the code number on the test strip vial.

If these two code number matches, you can start testing. If any error messages appear any time, refer
to the Troubleshooting section of the booklet for more information, see page 24.

STEP 2

If the two code numbers do NOT match, you must code the meter according to the test strip vial code
number before the LCD display ends. Press the SET button to select the correct code. The number
increases by one digit every time you press the SET button. To move more quickly, press and hold the
SET button.
After selecting the correct code number, it will appear solid for a second.
Then the Strip-Shape symbol on the LCD will starts blinking, indicating that the

finetest

System is

ready for testing.

CAUTION :

If you do not adjust and match the code numbers, you may

receive inaccurate test results.

Important

: Each time you test, be sure to check that the code number on

the meter display

matches the code number on the Test Strip vial.
