Comparing the Control Solution Test Results
The test result of each control solution should be within the
range printed on the label of the test strip box. Repeat the
control solution test if the test result falls outside of this range.
Out of range results may occur in the following situations:
Situations
• When the control solution bottle was
not shaken well,
• When the meter, test strip, or the control
solution were exposed to high or low
temperatures,
• When the first drop of the control
solution was not discarded or the tip of
the bottle was not wiped clean,
• When the meter is not functioning
properly.
• When the control solution is past the
expiration date printed on the bottle,
• When the control solution is past its
discard date (the date the bottle was
opened plus three (3) months),
• When the control solution is
contaminated.
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test
strip box, the KetoSens Test Strip and Meter may not be working
properly. Do not use your system and contact Customer Service:
1-800-429-5001 (9 am–9 pm EST, Monday–Saturday). At all other
times, contact your healthcare professional.

• The lancing device is for use by a single user only and should
not be shared with anyone including other family members.
• Use a soft cloth or tissue to wipe the lancing device.
If necessary, a small amount of alcohol on a soft cloth or
tissue may be used.
Caution: To reduce the chance of infection
• All components that come into contact with blood samples
should be considered to be biohazards capable of
transmitting viral diseases, even after disinfection.
• Do not use a lancet that has been used by another person
and never share your meter and lancing device with anyone.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling your meter, lancing device, or test strips.
• Keep your meter and lancing device clean. See the
pre-cleaning and disinfection section on page 37.
Note:
Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may
cause pain or skin calluses (thick hard skin). Choose a
different site each time you test.
