Accu-Chek Instant Blood Sugar Control Solution Level 1 & 2 is designed to check the performance of compatible Accu-Chek Instant blood glucose meters and test strips. It contains a known glucose concentration that allows users to perform control tests and verify whether their monitoring system is functioning within the specified control range.

Detailed Description

Accu-Chek Instant Control Solution helps users check the performance of their blood glucose monitoring system without using a blood sample. It is intended for use with Accu-Chek Instant and Accu-Chek Instant S meters and their compatible test strips.

The Level 1 and Level 2 control solutions are used to perform control tests and compare the displayed result with the acceptable control range printed on the test strip container. This helps identify potential issues with the meter, test strips or testing technique.

A control test is recommended when opening a new test strip box, when test strips may have been exposed to unsuitable storage conditions, or when checking whether the meter and strips are working correctly.

Important: This is a testing accessory, not a blood glucose treatment or a solution for measuring a person's actual blood sugar level.
