Control Solution Testing
You should do a control solution test when you are not sure of your test
strip results and want to check that your Reader’s built-in meter and test
strips are working properly.
IMPORTANT:
•
Control solution results should fall within the control solution range
printed on the test strip instructions for use.
•
Do NOT use control solution past the expiration date. Discard
control solution 3 months after opening or on the expiration date
printed on the bottle, whichever comes first. (Example: open April
15, discard July 15; write the discard date on the side of the bottle.).
•
The control solution range is a target range for control solution
only, not for your blood glucose results.
•
The control solution test does not reflect your blood glucose level.
•
Use only MediSense (low, medium or high) Glucose and Ketone
Control Solution with the Reader’s built-in meter.
•
Check that the LOT number printed on the test strip foil packet and
instructions for use match.
•
Replace the cap securely on the bottle immediately after use.
•
Do NOT add water or other liquid to the control solution.
•
Contact your FreeStyle Libre 2 System provider (pharmacy or mail
order supplier) for how to obtain control solution.
