Lifescan OneTouch Blood Glucose Meter User Manual

Before you use the OneTouch
®
FastTake
®
Meter to
test your blood for the first time, practice the
procedure using control solution. When you can do
three tests in a row that are within the expected
range, you are ready to test your blood.
Do a control solution test:
• When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
• At least once a week.
• Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips
are not working properly.
• When your blood glucose test results are not
consistent with how you feel, or when you think
your results are not accurate.
• If you drop the meter.
The control solution test is similar to a blood test
except that you use OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Control
Solution instead of a drop of blood.
