perform a quality control test. A passing control result indicates the system is working properly. A control result that is out of range indicates that the system may not be working properly. Do not use the system to test patient blood glucose unless the control solution result falls within the expected range.

•If patient symptoms are inconsistent with monitoring results and procedural errors are ruled out, follow your institution’s policies for treating the symptoms, and confirm the glucose measurement with a laboratory test.

•If you repeatedly get any error message, obtain a result from a laboratory test. Compare the test strip confirmation dot to the colors on the test strip bottle Color Chart, and if necessary, take appropriate precautions while awaiting the lab result.

Do not use the Color Chart as a replacement for a meter result.
