Product Description.:
Easy touch control solution
The Control Solution is a desired aqueous glucose solution with small amounts of non-reactive ingredients and food coloring for verifying the accuracy of the entire blood glucose monitoring system. The Control Solution test examines the performance of the glucose meter, test Strip, and your operating techniques.
When to perform a control solution test:
Easy Touch control solution can be used to verify that the Easy Touch glucose monitoring system is working correctly and giving.
Accurate results.
The system is performing correctly if the control solution test result falls within the speci c control solution range listed on your test strip vial.
You are encouraged to use Control Solution on a regular basis.
If you suspect your blood glucose test are not consistent with how you feel or your test are higher or lower than normal, you may validate the performance of your test with Control Solution.
Direction:
Insert a test strip, contact bars end first, into the test port.
The Meter will automatically turn on.
A beep will sound and moving dotted lines will appear followed by a flashing Drop symbol.
After the Drop symbol appears, press the S button for 3 sec to switch control solution mode.
The �ctl� symbol indicates that the Meter will mark your current test as a control solution test.
Now you are ready to apply the control solution.
Discard the first drop of control solution and squeeze a small drop of Control Solution on a clean nonabsorbent surface (such as a clean piece of wax paper).
Do not apply control solution to the test strip directly from the bottle.
Bring the tip of the test strip to lightly touch the drop of control solution.
Control solution is automatically pulled into the strip through the tip.
Hold until the meter beeps.
The meter will now being counting down from 5 to 1 and the control solution test result will appear.
Compare the results with the control solution range printed on the Test Strip vial.
The results should fall within the specified range listed on the test strip vial.
Comparing Control Solution Results:
If the test result falls outside the speci ed range printed on the Test Strip vial, repeat the test.
Results falling outside the specified range may be caused by:
Error in performing the test.
Control solution temperature is lower than 59�F(15�C) or higher than 95�F (35�C).
Expired or contaminated Control Solution.
Expired or contaminated Test Strips.
Meter malfunction.
If the problem persists, the system may not be working properly. DO NOT continue to use the system to test your blood glucose level.
Warning:
Use the same model of control solution, test strip and glucose meter.
Do not apply Control Solution to the Test Strip directly from the bottle, such operation could be leaded to contaminate and decrease the concentration of control solution.
You must place a drop of control solution on a clean nonabsorbent surface first.
