important information about control solutions
- Only use control solutions included in delivery.
- Write the date of opening on the bottle.
- Check the use-by date for the solution. Never use solutions past their use-by date.
- The control solution should reach room temperature (20°C to 25°C/68°F to 77 °F) before you use it.
- Shake the bottle of test solution well before you open it. Wipe the first drop away, and then use the
second drop to ensure that you have a good sample for precise measure results.
- You should use the control solution up within 90 days of opening.
- Keep the solutions safely closed away at room temperature (below 30°C). Never freeze them!
Warning: The measured value for the solutions which is printed on the test strip container is only
used to check the measuring system. It is not intended as a recommended value for your
blood sugar level!
