Quality Control Testing

To assure accurate and reliable results, TRUE METRIX GO offers two kinds of quality control tests, an Automatic Self-Test
and a Control Test. These tests let you know that your system is working properly and your testing technique is good.
Automatic Self-Test:
An Automatic Self-Test is performed each time a test strip is inserted correctly into the Test Port. The Test lets
you know if the meter and the Display are working properly. The Automatic Self-Test does not take the place of
running a Control Test.

Control Test:

We recommend performing Control Tests:
• before using your meter for the first time,
• for practice to ensure your testing technique is good,
• when opening a new vial of test strips,
• occasionally as a vial of test strips is used,
• if results seem unusually high or low,
• if the test strip vial has been left opened, exposed to extreme heat, cold, or humidity,
• whenever a check on the performance of the system is needed,
• if meter damage is suspected (meter was dropped, crushed, wet, etc.).
Performing a Control Test with more than one level of control solution is recommended to ensure that the system
is working properly. Three levels of TRUE METRIX Control Solution are available. Contact place of purchase or
call 1-800-803-6025, Monday - Friday, 8AM-8PM EST, for more information on how to obtain levels of control
solution.
Use ONLY TRUE METRIX Control Solution for Control Test.
Caution!
Ranges printed on test strip vial label being used are for Control Test results only and are not suggested levels
for your blood glucose. Do not drink control solution.
