NOTE: If you make a mistake or want to exit from the Set Date/Time screen, simply
leave the Receiver alone for 12 seconds. It will automatically turn off, and any
changes you made will be cancelled or cleared.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the date and time correctly. The accuracy of Line
Graph and Statistical Reports depends on accurate date/time settings.
Performing a Control Solution Test
FreeStyle Control Solution is a red liquid that contains a fixed amount of glucose and
can be used:
• To ensure that your Receiver and Test Strips are working properly prior to
calibration or blood glucose testing.
• To check that you are following the correct testing procedure.
• To practice Blood Glucose Mode testing without having to use your own blood.
The best way to check your Receiver is to perform a test using FreeStyle Control
Solution. A Control Solution test follows the same procedure as a blood glucose test,
except that you use a sample of Control Solution instead of a drop of blood. If the
Receiver reading is within the Control Solution acceptable range, the Receiver is
working properly.
You’ll want to perform a Control Solution test:
• When you first get your Receiver, before performing a calibration.
• When you open and begin using a new vial of Test Strips.
• When you suspect that your Receiver or Test Strips are not working properly.
• When you think your glucose test results are not accurate, or if your test results
are not consistent with how you feel.
