How do I know if the control solution test results are accurate?

The control solution test results should fall within the range printed on the test strip vial label.

Important: The control solution range is a target range for control solution only. It is not a target range for your blood glucose level.

If control solution test results are out of this range, repeat the test.

Out of range test results may be caused by:

Expired or bad control solution. –  Expired or bad test strip.

–  Error in performing test.

–  Watered-down control solution.

–  Code on test strip vial does not match code set in meter. –  Meter malfunction.

Control solution test done outside 59º to 104ºF (15º to 40ºC).

If your control solution test results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial:

1.The FreeStyle FlashSystem may not be working properly.

2.Do not use the FreeStyle Flash System to test your blood glucose.

3.Call Customer Care.
