T.Out-of-range control solution results
Out-of-range test results may be caused by:
• Expired or bad control solution
• Expired or bad test strip
• Error in performing test
• Code on test strip vial does not match code set in the PDM
• Malfunction of the System
• Control solution test done outside 59° to 104° F (15° to 40° C)
If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the
range printed on the test strip vial:
1. The System may not be working properly.
2. Do not use the System to test your blood glucose.
3. Call Insulet's Customer Care (24 hours/7 days): 800-591-3455.
When calling from outside the United States: 781-457-5098.
■ Performing a Control Solution Test
1. Grasp the bottom of the test strip with the printed side facing
up (Figure 7-2).
2. Insert the top of the test strip into the test strip port (Figure 7-3)
until it stops. This turns on the PDM and displays the code
number on the screen. Refer to page 54 to check Pod status
and to Confirm ID.
The control solution range is a target range for control
solution only. It is not a target range for your blood
glucose.
Always verify and be prepared to adjust the code
on the PDM to match the code number on the
test strip vial (Figure 7-4).
