5.7 Functional check using control solution

The control solution is used to test the entire blood glucose monitoring system. This helps to deter-

mine whether the monitor and the test strips are working optimally together and whether the test is

being performed correctly.

Perform the control solution test if you suspect that the blood glucose monitor and/or the test strips

could be faulty or if you have repeatedly measured unusual blood glucose values. Also test the blood

glucose monitor if it has been dropped or is damaged. The control solution is available separately.

Please observe the additional notes in the instructions for using the control solution for the test.

Important

•

Do not use third-party control solution. Correct functioning of your monitor can only be tested using

Beurer LEVEL3 + LEVEL4 control solutions.

•

Control solution measurements: When using the device, specialist personnel must follow statutory

guidelines.

•

Do not apply any blood samples or control solutions to the test strip before inserting it in the moni-

tor.

Performing a functional test using control solution

Warning

To obtain correct results, the monitor, test strip and control solution must be the same temperature.

For the “Functional test using control solution”, the temperature is to be between 20 °C and 26 °C.

Insert test strip

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 3.4 “Test strips” on page 13 ).

Wait until the device is ready for use

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

use as soon as the test strip symbol and the ﬂashing blood droplet symbol are displayed.

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.

Activate control mode

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

” is shown on the display.

In control mode, the measured value is not saved, meaning your statistics will not be aected.

However, if you do want to save the control measurement in the memory, press the rocker

switch (“+” or “–”) again. “ ” disappears from the display.
