CHAPTER 3 – CHECKING YOUR DARIO™ GLUCOSE METER
– CH E CKIN G Y O U R D ARIO ™ G LU COS E ME T E R
This section provides information on checking the accuracy of your meter.
You may test the accuracy of your meter with a control solution.
To ensure that your results are always accurate, you need to check the performance
of your meter in the following cases:
If you drop the meter.
Whenever your result does not match the way you feel.
If you have repeated a test, and the blood glucose result is still lower or higher
than expected.
Whenever you want to check the performance of a meter and test strip.
CONTROL SOLUTION
The Control Solution confirms that the meter and test strips are performing as
expected. A drop of control solution is placed on a test strip (using a piece of
paper). Compare the results on the meter with the value
s displayed on the test
strip cartridge.
Dario™ Control Solution package can be ordered separately. Please contact your
local representative for ordering information. Dario™ Control Solution package
