Control Solution is used to test the accuracy of your meter and test strips. Applied to a test strip, control solution confirms that the meter's test results are in the expected range printed on the test strip vial. Control solution tests should be performed at least once a week, every time a new vial of test strips is opened, and whenever you suspect the meter or test strips may not be functioning properly.

Control solution should be used:

• Before testing with blood for the first time
• To practise the test process instead of using blood
• Once a week
• Whenever you open a new vial of test strips
• Whenever you suspect the meter or test strips may not be functioning properly
• If you have repeated unexpected blood glucose results
• If you drop or damage the meter
