Testing with a Control Solution:
Use C ONTOUR TS Control
Solutions to practice using
the system or to run a qual-
ity control test to make sure
the meter and the test strips
are working properly. Low,
Normal and High Control So-
lutions are available. Always
use C
ONTOUR TS Control Solu-
tions, as other brands could present incorrect results.
Remove a test strip from the bottle and fi rmly snap the lid
closed.
NOTE: Check the expiration date and discard date of the con-
trol solution and test strips. Make sure the test strip does not
appear torn or damaged.
Hold the test strip with the gray
end facing up.
Insert the gray end into the
orange test strip port on the
meter.
The meter will turn on. A test
strip with a fl ashing blood drop
will appear letting you know the
meter is ready to test. Do not
apply control solution to the test
strip until the blood drop symbol
fl ashes.
