Checking your meter

You can check whether the meter provides correct test results. To perform this control test, a glucose

control solution is applied to the test strip instead of blood.

Perform a control test using Accu-Chek Active control solutions

• whenever you open a new test strip box,

• after you clean the test strip guide and the measurement window,

• if you are in doubt about a blood glucose result.

Please ask your customer support and service centre where you can obtain the control solutions.

Preparing for a control test

For a control test, you need:

• the meter with the code chip inserted

• the Accu-Chek Active test strips that belong to the code chip

• Accu-Chek Active control solution Control 1 (low glucose concentration) or Control 2 (high glucose

concentration)

• a clean, dry paper towel

• the concentration table for the control solutions (see label on the test strip container)

A control test is in its main steps the same as a blood glucose test, except that you apply control solution

to the test strip instead of blood.
