Taking a test
NOTE:
• When you first open a new vial of control solution,
record the discard date on the vial label. Refer to the
control solution insert or vial label for instructions on
determining the discard date.
• Tightly close the cap on the control solution vial
immediately after use to avoid contamination or
damage.
• Do Not open the test strip vial until you are ready to
remove a test strip and perform a test. Use the test
strip immediately after removing it from the vial,
especially in high humidity environments.
• Control solution tests must be done at room
temperature (20-25°C). Make sure your meter, test
strips and control solutions are at room temperature
before testing.
CAUTION:
• Do Not swallow or ingest control solution.
• Do Not apply control solution to the skin or eyes as it
may cause irritation.
• Do Not use control solution after the expiry date
(printed on the vial label) or the discard date,
whichever comes first, or your results may be
inaccurate.
