4.2.3. HOW TO PERFORM A CONTROL SOLUTION TEST
To perform a control solution test, you will need: glucometer, test
strip and control solution.
Before Testing
Apply Control Solution
Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before use.
Squeeze out a drop and wipe it off, then squeeze out another drop
and place it on the tip of the vial cap. Hold the glucometer to move
the absorbent hole of the test strip to touch the drop. Once the
confirmation window fills completely, the "processing" message
will appear on the screen. To avoid contaminating the control
solution, do not directly apply control solution onto a strip.
Read and Compare the Result
After a "Processing" message appears, the control solution test
result will then appear on the display. Compare this result with
the range printed on the test strip vial and it should fall within this
range. If not, please read the instructions again and repeat the
control solution test.
NOTE:
- The control solution range printed on the test strip vial is for control
solution use only. It is not a recommended range for your blood
glucose level.
- See under section 1 Notes on Safety for important information about
your control solutions.

- Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets
and the lancing device.
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the lancing
device to collect a blood sample.
Fingertip testing
Wash and dry your hands before starting. Press the lancing device's
tip firmly against the lower side of your fingertip. Press the release
button to prick your finger, then a click indicates that the puncture
is complete.
NOTE:
- Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the
same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
- It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it might
contain tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
4.4. TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE
To perform a blood glucose test, you will need a glucometer, blood
glucose test strip, sterile lancet and lancing device.
Make sure that your smartphone is at its maximum volume before
starting the test.
Plug the MyGluco Dongle Glucometer into the jack plug of
your smartphone
Select the MyGluco subapp in the BewellConnect® app. Plug
the glucometer into your smartphone's jack plug and wait
