When to Perform Control Solution Testing:

• When using a new bottle of Embrace TALK Blood Glucose Test Strips
• After leaving the test strip bottle cap open for an extended period
• Following an incident where the monitor may have been damaged, such as dropping it
• If there are suspicions that the monitor or test strips are not functioning correctly
• When blood glucose test results do not align with how the user feels
   

Performing a Control Solution Test:

Step 1: Preparation

• Check the expiration date of the control solution and ensure it is not expired.
• Determine whether the control solution is labeled as LOW or HIGH and set the monitor accordingly (L1 for LOW, L2 for HIGH).
• Gently mix the control solution by rolling the bottle between your hands.
• Place 2 drops of control solution on a clean glass or plastic plate and immediately replace the cap on the control solution bottle.
   

Step 2: Insert Test Strip
 

• Insert an Embrace TALK Test Strip into the monitor and close the lid promptly.

Step 3: Set Monitor

• Turn on the monitor by inserting the test strip. The monitor will prompt with audio instructions if the talking feature is enabled.
• Press the appropriate button based on the level of control solution used (bottom button for LOW-L1, top button for HIGH-L2). The monitor will display L1/L2 accordingly.
   

Step 4: Apply Control Solution

• Gently guide the tip of the test strip into the drop of control solution. The monitor will play a melody and begin a countdown.
• After 6 seconds, the control solution reading will be displayed on the monitor.
   

Step 5: Compare Results

• Compare the displayed reading with the control solution range indicated on the bottle of test strips.
• If the reading falls within the specified range for the corresponding level (L1 or L2), the monitor and strips are functioning correctly.
• Follow these steps for both Level 1 and Level 2 Control Solution tests to ensure the accuracy of the Embrace TALK Blood Glucose Monitor and Test Strips.
