Checking the System
You may check your meter and test strips using the
KetoSens Control Solutions (level A and B).
The KetoSens Control Solution contains a known
amount of β-Ketone and is used to check that the
meter and the test strips are working properly.
KetoSens Control Solution ranges are printed on the
KetoSens test strip box. Compare the result displayed
on the meter to the KetoSens Control Solution range
printed on the test strip box.
Before using a new meter or a new box of test strips,
you should conduct a control solution test following the
procedure on page 29–31 with two different levels
of solutions (Control A and B).
Note
Use only the KetoSens Control Solution (available for purchase
•
separately).
Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you first
•
open a control solution bottle, record the discard date (date
opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided on the
label.
Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
•
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature, 68–77 ˚F (20–25 ˚C).
Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard the
•
first 1 or 2 drops and wipe the tip clean.
Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
•
temperature between 46–86 ˚F (8–30 ˚C).
