CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
When the confirmation window is full, the meter will count down from 5 to 1.
Read your result
Your control solution result will then appear on the display, along with the date, time, unit of
measure, and the words CONTROL TEST.
Control solution results can be seen when reviewing past results, but are not included in
result averages.
Check if the result is in range
Compare the result displayed on the meter to the OneTouch® Vita™ Control Solution range printed
on the test strip vial
.
If your control solution result falls outside the expected range, repeat the test with a new test strip.
