Control solution testing
When to perform a control test
Control Solution contains a specific amount of glucose and is used to
check that the meter and the test strips are working properly.
Do a control solution test:
•
Whenever you open a new vial of test strips.
•
Whenever you want to check if you are testing correctly.
•
If you suspect the meter and test strips are not working properly.
•
If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose results.
•
If you drop or damage the meter.
•
If you left the test strip container open or you think the test strips
have been damaged.
•
If the test strips were stored in extreme temperatures and/or humidity
•
Your test result does not match how you feel.
NOTE:
•
Only use the Sejoy CS-101 control solution.
•
Close the control solution bottle tightly after use.
•
Write the date you open the control solution bottle on the bottle label.
The control solution must be discarded 3 months after the
first open date or the expire date on the vial label, whichever comes
first.
•
Do not use control solution that exceeds the expired date or discard date.
•
Refer to the control solution label for control solution storage
conditions.
•
The control solution can stain fabric. Remove stains by washing with
soap and water.
CAUTION: Do Not swallow control solution. It is not for human
consumption. Do Not apply control solution to the skin or eyes
as it may cause irritation.
