You should run a control test with your AlphaTRAK Glucose Meter in the following situations:

• When you first purchase the AlphaTRAK Glucose Control Meter

• When you start a new vial of AlphaTRAK Test Strips

• When you’re unsure about the meter’s results

• If you forgot to close the test strip vial

• If the meter has been dropped

• When advised by your veterinarian

Directions:

• Insert an AlphaTRAK Test Strip into the meter with the butterfly end facing out.

• Code the meter to match the dog or cat code on the test strip vial.

• Shake the control solution bottle well.

• Discard the first few drops of control solution.

• Apply the next drop to the bottom of the test strip while it is inserted in the meter.

• The meter will beep once enough solution has been applied.

• If needed, you can add more solution within 60 seconds of the initial application.

• Compare the meter reading to the acceptable range listed on the test strip vial.

• Removing the test strip will automatically turn the meter off.
