Performing a Control Test…
There are times when you will want to do a quality Control
Test so you know that your system is working properly. You
may also want to do a Control Test to check the way you
perform a test.
Before you begin, gather your testing supplies: your Meter,
Test Strips and a bottle of Ascensia
® M
ICROFILL
™ Control
Solution.
Insert Test Strip
1. Hold the round end of the Test
Strip with the gray electrode side
up, and insert it in the Meter until
it stops. The Meter will run a
quick self-test and then you will
see a flashing drop on the screen.
This is your signal to apply Control
Solution.
Prepare Control Drop
2. Squeeze a small drop of Control Solution on a clean
nonabsorbent surface (such as a clean piece of wax paper).
Do not apply Control Solution to the Test Strip directly
from the bottle.
