vial with the number shown on the meter, before using Omnitest®
plus test strips.
Insert Omnitest®plus test strip to turn on the meter. The code
number will appear on the display for 3 seconds. Compare the code
number (example; C25) on the meter’s display with the code num-
ber on the test strip vial. If these two code numbers match, you can
start testing. If these two code numbers do not match, you must
code the meter according to the test strip vial code number.

Using Control Solution
The Omnitest®plus Control solution is used to check
that the blood glucose monitoring system consisting
of the meter and the test strips is working correctly.
Use only Omnitest®plus Control solution for the
Omnitest®plus monitoring system.
The control solution should be used
■Whenever you suspect the meter or test strip is not
functioning properly.
■If your blood glucose test results are not consistent
with your symptoms or if you think they are not accurate.
■If you have dropped the meter.
■For quality control in the point of care usage.
■For teaching or learning the system.
To perform a control solution test, follow the same test procedure
as for a blood glucose test, substituting control solution for the
drop of blood. For detail instruction, see page 35 “Testing Your
Blood Glucose”.

Using Control Solution
Apply Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial gently.
Remove the cap. Squeeze the vial, discard
the first drop, and wipe off the dispenser
tip with a clean tissue to ensure an accu-
rate result. Squeeze the vial again to get
a drop. Apply the hanging drop to the tip
of the test strip until the drop is drawn
into the test strip. Once you hear the
“beep”, it means the test strip is comple-
tely filled. The meter begins to count down
5 to 1 and then the result is displayed.
Compare the result displayed with the
range printed on the test strip vial.
The result should fall within the range.
4
Comparing Control Solution Results
If test results fall outside the range, repeat the test. Out-of-range
results may be caused by one or more of the following causes:
■Error in performing the test.
■Failure to shake the control solution vial gently.
■Expired or contaminated control solution.
■Control solution that is too warm or too cold.
■Failure to discard the first drop of control solution and
wipe the dispenser tip clean.
■Contamination of the control solution e.g. if the drop of the
control solution is taken back into the control vial.
■Improper coding of the meter.
■Meter malfunction.
■Test strip deterioration.
Do not use the system to test your blood glucose until you get a
control solution test result that falls within the range.
Mark all control solution tests with symbol to distinguish
from blood glucose tests in the meter memory. Marked con-
trol solution test results will not be included in your averages.
