10 The control solution test
The control solution is used to check and ensure that the
TysonBio TB100 test strips
are working together properly and that you are performing the test correctly.
When to perform a control solution test
• When you are using your blood glucose monitoring system for the first time.
• When you are using a new batch of test strips.
• Anytime you question the performance of the system, or on a
regular basis to ensure accuracy, e.g. once a week.
• When you adjust your diabetic medication plans.
• When your blood glucose test result is lower or higher than your normal level.
Note: Control solutions are required but not supplied.
For order information please contact Customer Services.
For more information about the standard control solution,
Please read your control solution package insert.
Perform a control solution test
1. Make sure that the control solution is at room temperature (15°C
to 35°C or 59 °F to 95°F) prior to testing.
2. Insert a test strip, white side face up and with the contact bar end
first into the test port. The meter will turn on automatically.
3. System checking. Dotted lines will appear and move clockwise. (Fig. 10)
4. The symbol for blood will start to flash. Press the S button for 3
seconds to switch to control solution mode. The " ctl " symbol (Fig. 11)
indicates that the meter will mark your current test as a control solution
test. Now you are ready to apply the control solution.
5. Discard the first drop of solution and squeeze a small drop of control
solution on a clean non-absorbent surface (such as a clean piece of wax
paper). Do not apply the control solution to the test strip directly from the
bottle.
6. Bring the tip of the test strip to lightly touch the drop of control solution.
The solution is automatically pulled into the strip through the tip. Hold
until the meter beeps. The meter will begin to count down from 5 to 1
and the control solution test result will appear.
Caution: Please remember in order to prevent contamination, follow the
above instructions for performing the control solution test.
