Control Solution Testing:
Use only Bayer’s
C
ONTOUR
®
control solutions (Normal,
Low, or High) with your
C
ONTOUR
meter.
Using any-
thing other than
C
ONTOUR
control solution could present
incorrect results.
Run a control test:
• When using your meter for the fi rst time;
• When you open a new vial of test strips;
• If you think your meter may not be working
properly; or
• If you have repeated unexpected blood glucose
results.
Remove a test strip from the bottle.
Tightly close the bottle lid immediately after you
have removed the test strip. Excess moisture could
damage the test strip.
NOTE:
Check the expiration and discard date. Make sure
the test strip does not appear torn or damaged.
Hold the test strip with the gray end facing up.
Insert the gray end into the test
strip port on the meter.
