Control Solution

Control Solution is a liquid that contains a fixed amount of Glu-
cose or ß-ketone.
• Use these solutions to verify that your monitor and test strips
are working properly.
• Use this solution to practice or to check that you are following
the correct testing procedure without using your own blood.
If the monitor reading is within the control solution's acceptable
range, the meter is working properly.

Perform a Control Solution Test

The control solution test confirms that your monitor and test strips
are working correctly. A control solution test is similar to a blood test,
except you use Nova Max Control Solution and not a blood sample.
You should run a control solution test:
• When you first get your monitor and at least once a week
thereafter for glucose
• Each time you open and begin using a new vial of glucose test strips
• If you leave the glucose test strip vial cap open for any length
of time
• If the monitor is dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids
• If you think your test results are not accurate, or if your test
results are not consistent with how you feel
• To check the performance of the monitor and test strips
• Nova Max High and Low Glucose Controls and Nova Max Plus ß-Ke-
tone Low and High Controls are also recommended as an additional
quality control check for your Nova Max Plus monitoring system.
