Insert the top of the test strip into your meter
until it stops. This will power on the meter.
The code number on the display must match the
code number on the side of your test strip vial.
Refer to “Setting the Test Strip Code”.
Wait
for the meter to display the Blood Drop
and Test Strip symbols.
Note
: Be ready to adjust the code on the meter to match the code
number on the test strip vial.
Gently touch only
the Sample Area
of the Test
Strip Edge to the control solution.
Important:
Do not apply control solution to both
Test Strip Edges.
If the sound prompt is on, your meter will beep when the test strip
is full. A short line then moves clockwise around the display screen
while the sample is processing.
Important Control Solution Information
FreeStyle® Control Solution is good for three months after opening
the bottle or until the expiration date printed on the label, whichever
comes first.
Important:
Count forward three months from the date you open a new
bottle of control solution. This is your discard date. Write this date on
the side of the control solution bottle.
Example:
You open the control solution on January 15th. Count
forward three months to April 15th. This is the discard date that you
record on the bottle.
• Use only FreeStyle Control Solution with your FreeStyle Flash Meter.
• Replace the cap on the control solution bottle immediately after
using.
• Do not use control solution past the expiration date.
• Do not add water or any liquid to control solution.
• Control solution tests are specified to be accurate only when used
between 59° to 104° F.
• The control solution test results should fall within the range printed
on the test strip vial label.
Important:
The control solution range is a target range for control
solution only. It is not a target range for your blood glucose level.
• If control solution results are out of this range, repeat the test.
• If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the range
printed on the test strip vial, do not use the FreeStyle Flash System
to test your blood glucose. Contact Customer Care.
Caution:
Results from FreeStyle Control Solution tests do not
reflect your blood glucose level.
