WHEN TO RUN A CONTROL SOLUTION TEST

The control solution test confirms that your Nova Max test strips and glucose monitor are working correctly. A control solution test is similar to a blood glucose test, except you use Nova Max Control Solution and not a blood sample.

According to Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor Owner’s Guide you should run a control solution test using a Nova Max control solution:

  • When you first get your monitor and at least once a week thereafter
  • Each time you open and begin using a new vial of Nova Max test strips
  • If you leave the test strip vial cap open for any length of time
  • If the monitor is dropped, damaged, or exposed to liquids
  • If you think your test results are not accurate, or if your test results are not consistent with how you feel
  • To check the performance of the monitor and test strips
  • Nova Max High and Low Glucose Controls are also recommended as an additional quality control check for your blood glucose monitoring system

Important Information for Nova Max Control Solution

According to Nova Max Blood Glucose Monitor Owner’s Guide:

  • Use only Nova Max Control Solution for the test.
  • Check the expiration date on the control solution vial. Do not use control solution past the expiration date or you may get inaccurate results.
  • Store only for 3 months after first opening. When you open a new vial of control solution, count forward 3 months and write that date on the label of the control solution vial. Discard any remaining solution after the date you have written on the vial.
  • Store the control solution tightly closed at room temperature below 86°F (30°C). Do not refrigerate or freeze.
  • Shake the control solution well before using.

Caution

The Nova Max Control Solution range printed on the test strip vial is for control solution only. It is used to test the performance of the monitor and test strip. It is not a recommended range for your blood glucose level.
