4. Shake the control solution bottle. Apply 1
drop of control solution to the center of
the pink test square.
◆ The first time you open the control
solution bottle, write the discard date
on the label in the space provided. The
discard date for control solution is 3
months from the date you first open
the bottle.
◆ Check expiration date and discard
date. Do not use the control solution
after these dates.
