Step 5
Prepare and apply control solution
Shake the control solution vial before each test. Remove the cap
and squeeze the vial to discard the first drop. Then wipe the tip
with a clean tissue or cloth. Hold the vial upside down and gently
squeeze a hanging drop.
Touch and hold the hanging drop of control solution to the
narrow channel in the top edge of the test strip. Make sure the
confirmation window fills completely. Control solution should not
be applied to the flat face of the test strip.
Step 6
Read your result
When the meter detects control solution in the test
strip, it begins to count down from 5 to 1.
Your result will then appear on the display, along
with CtL and the unit of measure.
If you decide not to do a control solution test, press ▲ again to
remove CtL from the display.
