Control Testing and Quality Control
107
If y
ou are using a new test strip lot and have
not inserted the test strip code chip yet, you
must do so now. Otherwise you cannot per-
form a quality control test.
As with the test strips, a quality control code
chip is also provided with the control solu-
tions. This chip informs the meter about the
acceptable ranges of results for that lot of
controls. The information on the code chip is
retained in the memory so you can use the
same control solutions at any time.
10 Select the code stored for your current
control solution, or touch New Code to
use a new control solution.
The first time you run a control, the meter
skips this QC Test screen option because
there are no code chip parameters in memory
yet. The next time you use the control, this
screen will display, offering you a pick of the
code(s) already stored as well as the option
New Code.
If you are using a new control solution, remove
the strip code chip from the meter and insert
the code chip that came with the control solu-
tion instead.
If the code chips get mixed up, check the
letter on the code chips to tell them apart. A
capital S in front of the number indicates that
this code chip is for test strips. A capital C in
front of the number indicates that it is a con-
trol solution code chip.
