What is Quality Control Testing?
Quality control testing is done using glucose control
solutions instead of blood. Checking your system with
quality control solutions ensures that you are doing a
test correctly and that your Accu-Chek Advantage
system is working properly as well as giving you
reliable results.
When should I check my Accu-Chek Advantage monitor?
• Before using your monitor for the first time
• When you open a new vial of test strips
• If you leave the cap off the vial of test strips
• If you drop the monitor
• If your result does not agree with the way you feel
• Whenever you want to check the way you are
performing your blood glucose test • If you have repeated a test and the blood glucose result is still lower or higher than expected • When you want to check the performance of the monitor and test strip
Gathering Supplies
Note: The Accu-Chek Advantage Care Kit is packaged
with one level of glucose control solution. When
purchased at the store, glucose control solutions are
packaged with 2 levels per box.
Quality Control Testing To do a quality control check, you will need the
following items:
• Accu-Chek
™ Comfort Curve ™ Glucose Control Solutions • Chek Strip
• Accu-Chek Comfort Curve test strips
It is important that you use the right glucose control
solution for your test strips. Use only Accu-Chek
Comfort Curve control colutions with Accu-Chek
Comfort Curve test strips.
You can perform quality control checks without your
Chek Strip. To do so, simply apply the glucose control
solutions to your test strips the same way as for a
blood glucose test. To check if the result is within the
acceptable range, see the glucose control ranges
printed on the test strip vial label.

When you open a new bottle of glucose control
solution, write the date on the label. Glucose control
solution are good for 3 months after opening or until
the expiration date, whichever comes first.

Using the Chek Strip prevents the quality control result from taking up space in the monitor’s memory.
If you do not use the Chek Strip, the control result
will be stored in memory.
