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.
1.
Orange
Pad
2.
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."
