Chapter 4: Control Testing

Why Perform Control Tests

Performing a control test lets you know that your meter and test strips are working properly to give
reliable results. You should perform a control test when:
• You open a new box of test strips
• You left the test strip container open
• You want to check the meter and test strips
• Your test strips were stored in extreme
temperatures
