Important Tips About Control Solution
1. Only use BioTel Care® or Telcare® Glucose Control Solution
with the BioTel Care® or Telcare® Test Strips. Other brands
of control solution or test strips may produce inaccurate
results.
2. Always check the expiration date. DO NOT use expired
control solution.
3. DO NOT FREEZE. Store the control solution at room
temperature.
4. Never touch the tip of the control solution bottle to the test
strip. It will damage all remaining solution in the bottle.
5. Record the "date opened" on the bottle label.
6. Do not use the control solution if more than 3 months since
first opened.

Control Solution Troubleshooting

If your control solution testing is out of range (too high or too
low), it may be caused by the following:
• Wrong brand of control solution
• Control solution not at room temperature
• Expired or contaminated control solution
• Damaged test strip
