When to Perform a Control Solution Test

Running the EasyMax 15 Control Solution Test will let you know that your meter and test strips are working properly. You should run control solution tests:

• If you are using a new EasyMax LTC Blood Glucose Meter.
• When you open a new vial of EasyMax 15 test strips.
• If you think the meter or test strips may be working incorrectly.
• If the meter has been dropped.
• If the results are lower or higher than expected, and you have repeated the test with similar results.
• When you practice the test procedure.
• When your facility mandates control solution tests.

• Do not use a control solution that is past the expiration date.
• The control solution can stain clothing. If you spill it, wash your clothes with soap and water.
• Close the bottle tightly after every use.

Understanding Control Solution Results

The label on your test strip vial shows the acceptable ranges for the different control solution levels. The result you get should be inside the acceptable range for the appropriate control solution level. Make sure you compare the result to the correct level of control.

When the control result is inside the range on the test strip vial, your test strips and your meter are working properly. If your control solution result is not within the acceptable range printed on your test strip vial, look at the troubleshooting checks on next page.
