Running a Control Test

Chapter 2: Control Testing

For control testing, you'll need your meter, a test strip, a

bottle of ACCU-CHEK Active control solution, and a

Arrowheads

napkin or paper towel.

Orange

Pad

Take a new test strip from the container. Make sure the

yellow color in the round window on the back of the strip

matches the yellow color above "0 mg/dL" on the

container. If it looks green, don't use it.

Insert the test strip, with the orange pad facing up, until it

will go no further into the meter. Do not bend the test

strip. (The arrowheads are almost no longer visible when

the test strip is inserted correctly.)

After the flashing blood drop appears, you have 2

minutes to apply solution to the strip.

Do not operate the meter without the test strip guide

attached. For more information, See Chapter 5,

"Maintenance and Troubleshooting."
