5.4 Function check with control solution

The control solution is used for checking the whole blood sugar measuring system. This

enables you to determine whether the measuring device and the test strips are function-

ing correctly together and whether the test is performed correctly. It is very important that

you perform these tests using the control solution to ensure accurate measuring results.

Important

Never use the control solution of other manufacturers. You can only verify the proper

function of your measuring device using the Beurer GL40 control solution.

When is it recommended to perform a test using the control solution?

• After opening a new test strip container.

• If you suspect that the measuring device or the test strips could be defective.

• If your blood sugar measurement values do not correspond to the way you are feeling.

• If you have dropped the measuring device or it has been subjected to other mechani-

cal strain.

• Every time you suspect that the blood sugar results may be incorrect.

It is sufficient to perform a single control solution test if the result is within the recom-

mended range.

Warning

Do not ingest the control solution. The control solution is only to be used for function tests

and is for external use only.

Note

• Store the control solution tightly closed at a room temperature below 30°C. Do not

refrigerate.

• Store the control solution out of reach of young children.

• Do not store the control solution in the medicine cabinet. It may be mistaken for medi-

cine to be consumed.

• The control solution can discolour your clothing. In this case, wash your clothing with

soap and water.

• Carefully close the control solution bottle after each use.

• Any control solution squeezed out in excess must not be sucked back into the bottle.
