Control Testing and Quality Control
102
Preparing to run a liquid quality control test
Prepare for a liquid quality control test in the same way you would prepare to perform a test with
a capillary blood sample. The only difference is the use of control solution instead of blood.
1 Have the test strip container at hand.
2 If you are using the test strip lot for the
first time, make sure that the code chip
that came with these test strips is at hand.
3 Make sure the bottle of freeze-dried (lyo-
philized) control plasma and the dropper
for making the control solution are at
hand. This bottle should remain refriger-
ated (not frozen) until use.
4 Make sure that the quality control code
chip that came with the control solution is
at hand.
5 Open the lid of the bottle and remove the
rubber cap.
6 Hold the dropper with the sealed dropper
neck pointing upward, then cut off the
end of the cap with scissors. Do not hold
the dropper close to your face.
To avoid loss of diluent, hold the dropper by the stem; do not squeeze the bulb of the drop-
per while cutting the tip.
