DIAGNOSTIC GOLD control solution is intended for use only with the DIAGNOSTIC GOLD blood glucose meter to verify if the glucose meter and test strips work well together as a self-test kit.
Product description and rules of use:
The DIAGNOSTIC GOLD control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with chemicals found on the DIAGNOSTIC GOLD Strip test strip. When applying a drop of control solution to the test strip using the same procedure as for whole blood, the glucose in the control solution reacts with the chemicals present on the test strip. The result displayed on the meter should be within the expected range indicated on the label of the test strip container. Obtaining a single result within the expected range is sufficient to confirm the correct operation of the kit. A score that goes beyond the range given on the label of the test strip container may mean that the kit is not working properly. This control solution is not intended for use as a cleaning solution.
