Checking the System with Control Solutions
control solutions contain a known amount of glucose that
reacts with test strips. By comparing your control solution test results with
the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is able 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 you do
this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
How often the control solution test should be performed?
When you use this system to test your blood for the first time, practice the
procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row
that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood.
For routinely check the meter and test strips, perform a single test for
each level of control solution at least once a week.
When the control solution test should be performed?
Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working prop-
erly.
When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you
feel, or when you think your results are not accurate.
When your test strips are exposed to extreme environmental conditions
(See Storage section of this manual).
When you want to practice running the test.
If you drop the meter.
