PRO Control Solutions

Run a control test:

• Before first using a new microdot® PRO glucometer

• When opening a new vial of strips

• At least once per week

• If the meter is dropped

• If meter or strips may not be working correctly

• If test results seem inaccurate or inconsistent with symptoms

1. Insert a microdot® PRO Blood Glucose Test Strip into the

   meter with the blood sample reaction zone facing up.

   Make sure the test strip contact points are inserted all

   the way into the meter.

2. Wait until the flashing blood drop and test strip icons

   appear on the lower left of the meter display screen.

3. Press “▼” to enter the control mode. You will see “ctl”

   on the lower left of the screen. Use “▲” or “▼” to

   select control level (L1 or L3).

4. Squeeze a drop of control solution (Level 1 or Level

   3) on the top of the control solution cap. Do not apply

   control solution to the test strip directly from the control

   vials. Note - if test strip enzyme leaches into control

   solution vials, control solutions could

   become contaminated and not work properly.

5. Hold the meter and touch the control solution to the

   edge of the sampling end of the test strip.The control

   solution will be automatically drawn into the reaction

   area of the test strip. Wipe excess control solution

   off the cap and replace cap on control solution vial

   immediately after use.

6. The screen will begin to count down. After 8 seconds,

   the control solution testing result will appear on the

   meter display screen. A “ctl” flag will also be attached

   when results are shown on the screen.

7. Compare the reading on the screen to the control range

   printed on the test strip bottle (for vial test strip) or box

   (for foil-wrapped test strip). If the reading does not fall

   within the control range printed on the test strip bottle or

   box, see Control Solution Trouble Shooting on page 37 of

   the Operations Manual.

8. Remove the used test strip either by pushing the ejection

   switch or by pulling it out with your hand and dispose in

   a proper biohazard waste container.

   Insert a new test strip to perform the next test, or press

   and hold the power button to turn off the meter.
