Do a control solution test:
■ For practice, before testing your
blood with the OneTouch
® Basic ®
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
thoroughly 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 solution
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.
