Lifescan Pocket Scan Blood Glucose Monitor System - Manual (Page 28)

Do a control solution test:
■ For practice, before testing your
blood with the OneTouch
® Profile ®
Meter for the first time
■ When you begin using a new vial
of test strips
■ At least once a week
■ Whenever you suspect that the
meter or test strips are not working
properly
■ When your blood glucose test
results are not consistent with how
you feel, or when you think your
results are not accurate
■ If you drop the meter
■ If you get the meter wet
The control solution test procedure is
just like blood glucose testing, except
that you use OneTouch
® Normal
Control Solution instead of blood.
Control solution test tips
■ Shake the control solution vial thor-
oughly before using.
■ If there are any bubbles on the top
of the vial, wipe them off with a
clean tissue.
■ Apply a full drop of control solu-
tion to the center of the test spot
and cover it completely. Do not dab,
wipe, or smear control solution on
the test spot.
■ Avoid contaminating the control
solution. Do not touch the test
spot with the tip of the vial.
