When to perform a control test
Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose and is used to
check that the meter and the test strips are working properly.
Do a control solution test:
• Whenever you open a new vial of test strips.
• Whenever you want to check if you are testing correctly
• If you suspect the meter and test strips are not working properly.
• If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose results.
• If you drop or damage the meter.
• If you left the test strip container open or you think the test strips
have been damaged
• If the test strips were stored in extreme temperatures and/or humidity
• Your test result does not match how you feel
NOTE:
• Only use the Sejoy CS-201 control solution.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly after use
• Write the date you open the control solution bottle on the bottle label.
The control solution must be discarded 3 months from the
first open date or the expire date on the vial label, whichever comes
first.
• Do not use control solution that is past the Exp. Date or discard date.
• Refer to the control solution label for control solution storage
conditions.
• The control solution can stain fabric. Remove stains by washing with
soap and water.
CAUTION: Do Not swallow control solution. It is not for human
consumption. Do Not apply control solution to the skin or eyes
as it may cause irritation.
