Control Solution
Prodigy
®
control solution is a red liquid containing glucose that
will react with test strips and produce a test result. Prodigy
®
meters can
use high or low control solution.
v First, check your contents to see if you have a high or low
control solution kit.
v Then, after completing a control solution test, compare test
results with the correct range (high or low) located on the back
of the test strip vial.
