Do a control solution test:
■
For practice, before testing your
blood with the ONE TOUCH
®
Profile
®
Meter for the first time,
■
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, or
■
If you drop the meter.
The control solution test procedure is
just like blood glucose testing, except
that you use ONE TOUCH
®
Control
Solution instead of blood.
Control solution test tips
■
Shake the control solution vial
thoroughly before using.
■
If there are any bubbles on the top
of the vial, wipe them off with a
clean tissue.

Apply a full drop of control solu-
tion to the center of the test spot
and cover it completely. Do not
dab, wipe, or smear control solu-
tion on the test spot.

Avoid contaminating the control
solution. Do not touch the test
spot with the tip of the vial.
