Testing a Quality Control Solution
1. Insert a test strip into the monitor. If monitor was off, the
screen displays all segments for 2 seconds then the blinking
blood drop symbol appears.
NOTE:
If the strip is removed before you start the test, the screen
goes blank.
2. Press the left/right
buttons to move between
unmarked sample or marked control sample (CTL); select
control.
NOTE:
It is important to select control solution test so the test result
does not appear to be one of your blood glucose test results.
CAUTION:
It is important to mark a control solution test prior to ap-
plying blood to the test strip, so the test result does not appear to be
one of your blood glucose test results, and also to prevent it from be-
ing included in your blood glucose average. Also, this will prevent the
meter from sending a control solution test result to your Paradigm
Model 512, 712, or higher insulin pump.
NOTE:
If a test is not performed within 2 minutes from the insertion
of the test strip, the screen goes blank. To perform a test, take out
then replace the test strip starting from Step 1.
3. Shake the control solution vial. Discard
a drop before use. Squeeze a drop of
control solution onto a clean, hard, dry
surface, i.e., control cap.
