Running a Control Test
For control testing, you’ll need your meter, a test strip, the
bottle of control solution, and a napkin or paper towel.
1. Insert a test strip with silver-colored bars into the meter, yellow
window facing up.
2. Make sure the code on the meter matches the code
on the test strip vial.
3.
When you see the flashing drop on the display, press
and release
once to select the L1 control. (Press it a second time if you
want to select the L2 control. See next page.)
Note: Control tests marked as L1 or L2 will not be stored in
memory.
4. Briefly roll the bottle of control solution, open it, squeeze one
drop onto a paper towel, and wipe the tip of the bottle clean.
5. Touch and hold one drop of control solution to the edge of the
yellow window. When the test is done, the meter displays the
test result.
