Performing a functional test using control solution

Warning

To obtain correct results, the measuring device, the test strip and the control solution must be the

same temperature. For the “Functional test using the control solution”, the temperature is to be be-

tween 20 °C and 26 °C.

Hold the blood glucose monitor so that the display is facing you.

Insert a test strip into the slot on the blood glucose monitor with the contacts ﬁrst. Make sure

that the front of the test strip is facing you (see “Test strip” on page 12).

The device automatically switches on and brieﬂy shows the start display. The device is ready

for measurement as soon as the hand and the symbol ﬂash.

IMPORTANT: Control solutions and blood react to temperature inﬂuences in dierent ways.

It is therefore of vital importance that control solution measurement is always performed in

control solution mode. If this mode is not used, results may be obtained that are outside the

target range.

Note

Press the rocker switch “+” or “–” to change to the control mode. “

” is shown on the dis-

play. This means that the result value is not stored in the memory, therefore not inﬂuencing

your measured value statistics. Press “+” or “–” again. “ ” disappears from the display and

the value is stored normally in the memory.

A clean surface is required to perform a correct functional test.

Shake the control solution well before use.

Undo the cap and press two drops next to each other on the

clean surface without touching them. Use the second drop for

the measurement.

Note

Do not apply the drop directly to the test strip to avoid contaminating the remaining control

solution in the bottle by touching the test strip with the tip of the bottle.

Hold the input gap (at the tip of the test strip) to the drops of control solution until the gap is

completely ﬁlled and the measuring device in the display starts counting backwards.

If the gap is suciently ﬁlled with solution, the device performs a measurement. The devices

counts down for approx. ﬁve seconds. The measured result is subsequently shown on the

display.

Check whether the result is within the speciﬁed range of results for the control solution. This

range of results is printed on the test strip box.

Expected results

At room temperature, the measured values of the test using the control solution should be within the

range printed on the test strip box in approx. 95 % of all tests.
