life decreases if the expiry date is reached before the end of the 3 months (see the

• Do not use the control solution if either of these dates has expired (

/ ).

• Allow the measuring device, test strips and control solution to reach room temperature

(+20°C to +25°C).

Performing a function test with control solution

1 Hold the measuring device so that the display is facing you.

2 Insert a test strip, contacts first, into the slot

on the measuring device. Ensure that the front side of the test strip

is facing you (see "Test strips" page 14).

3 The unit switches on automatically and briefly shows the start display. As soon as the

hand

and the symbol are flashing, the unit is ready to perform measurements.

Note

Press the S or T rocker button to switch to control mode. "CtL" appears in the dis-

play. This means that the result is not saved in the memory so that your measure-

ment statistics are not falsified. Pressing S or T again causes "CtL" to disappear

from the display again and the value will be stored as usual in the memory.

4 Shake the control solution well before use. Unscrew the cap and squeeze out a drop

of solution. Wipe away the first drop and squeeze out an additional drop.

5 To prevent the remaining control solution in the bottle from becoming contaminated

through the tip of the bottle in contact with the test strip, do not apply the drop directly

to the test strip. Apply the drop to a clean substrate. Then put the drop on the slit for

receiving blood on the test strip. The solution is sucked into the slit. Wipe the tip of the

bottle using a clean, dry paper tissue.

6 Once the slit is filled with solution, the unit begins the measurement. The unit counts

down for approx. five seconds. The result of the measurement is then shown in the

display.

7 Check whether the result is within the specified results range for the control solution.

This results range is printed on the container with the test strips.
