IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CONTROL SOLUTION TESTS
The control solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with test strips and is used
to check that your meter and test strips are working together properly. The result of the control
solution test should be within the range printed on the test strip vial label.
Materials needed to perform a control solution test:
• iHealth Align Gluco-Monitoring System (BG1)
• iHealth Blood Glucose Test StripAGS1000I
• iHealth Control Solution (Level I, Level II, or Level III)
Perform a control solution test when:
• First receiving or purchasing the meter.
• Checking the meter and test strips (which should be done at least once a week).
• Using a new vial of test strips.
• You suspect the meter and/or test strips are not working properly.
• Your blood glucose test results are not consistent with your expectations, or you think the
results are not accurate.
• Practicing the testing process.
• After the test strips are exposed to extreme conditions.
• The meter has been dropped or damaged.
Out-of-Range Results
Results falling outside the specified range may be caused by:
• Error in performing the test.
• Expired or contaminated control solution.

the meter may not be working properly. Discontinue use and call iHealth Labs Customer Service
