Test Result Problems
(continued)
SECTION 6
IMPORTANT: To have accurate
test results, sufficient sample to
fill the reaction chamber is
needed. The following drawings
show how a Test Strip looks
when filled and not filled.
1. Rerun test with new Test Strip
and apply sufficient sample to
fill Test Strip. Hold TEST END to
sample until after the “beep.”
2. Obtain new Test Strips and/or
Control Solution that are with-
in their expiration date.
3. Run a Control Test using a new
Test Strip. If results are still out
of range, replace carton of Test
Strips. See carton for proper
storage instructions.
4. Allow time for Meter, Control
Solution and/or Test Strips to
come to room temperature
before use.
Blood glucose or con-
trol test results are
inconsistent, or control
test results are not
within the specified
range. 1. Not enough blood or
control solution is drawn
into the Test Strip.
2. Test Strips or control
solution have passed
their expiration date.
3. Deteriorated Test Strip
caused by heat or
humidity.
4. Meter, Control Solution and/
or Test Strip are not at room
temperature when used.
