Perform Control Test
3. Bring the tip of the Test Strip to
lightly touch the drop of Control Solution. Control Solution is automatically pulled into the strip
through the tip. Hold until the Meter beeps. The Meter will now begin counting down the 15
seconds until the test is complete. Leave the Test Strip in the Meter until the Control Test result appears on the display. Compare your Normal Control Test result with the range printed on the Test Strip bottle label. This range also appears on the bottom of the test strip box along with the ranges for the Low and High Controls. (If the control test result falls outside of the control range, see Solving Problems, page 21.)
JHelpful Hint: The Ascensia CONTOUR Meter automatically recognizes and marks a Control Test result for you. You will notice that this has
been done by the check mark (✔) displayed on the screen. This way, your Control Test results will not be included in your
Note: The ✔ does not indicate the Control Test result is within the specified range.

4. To turn your Meter off, simply remove the Test Strip. The marked Control Result will automatically be stored in memory. Dispose of the used Test Strip.
