Control Solution Range

If test results fall outside the expected range, repeat the test. Results that fall outside the expected range may indicate the system is not working properly. Some possible causes are:

■Procedural error

■Expired or contaminated control solution

■Test strip code and meter code do not match

■Dirty meter or test strip holder

■Test strip deterioration

■Meter malfunction

■Control solution that is outside of the temperature range 59–95˚F (15–35˚C)
