Before you use the OneTouch® UltraSmart™ Meter to test your blood for the first time, practice the procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row and obtain a result within the expected range each time, you are performing the test correctly and you are ready to test your blood.
When to do a control solution test:•Once a week.
•When you open a new vial of test strips.
•Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
•If your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel.
•After dropping the meter.
