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 vial. Repeat the
control solution test if the test result falls outside of this range.
Out of range results may occur due to the following factors:
If results continue to fall outside the range printed on the
test strip vial, the CareSens N Test Strip and Meter may not be
working properly. Do not use your system and contact your
authorised i-SENS sales representative.

After your control solution result
appears on the display, press
for 3 seconds till the ‘check’
symbol appears on the display.
When the ‘check’ symbol is displayed, the
result is stored in the meter’s memory but
it is not included in the averages.

Compare the result displayed on the meter
to the range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within that range.
Used strips should be discarded safely in
appropriate containers.
