How to test your blood glucose
Before testing your blood glucose, you will need to code your Control® Meter. The code number on the meter must match the code number on the test strip vial. Insert a new Control® test strip into the test strip port of the Control® meter. The meter will automatically power on and the code will appear. Confirm the code on the meter is the same as on the test strip vial. If the code numbers are different, you will need to change the code on the meter to ensure they match. Press the S button to change the code until the number on the meter matches the one on the test strip vial. Once you have selected the correct number, press the M button. The test strip symbol will blink and now you are ready to test.
Place the end of the lancing device against your finger and draw blood.
Please the blood from your finger to the tip of the Control® test strip. The test strip will automatically draw the blood.
The meter will count down from 5 to 1 on the display. After 5 seconds, the meter will beep and your test result will be displayed on the screen.
Remove the test strip and discard.
Clinical Accuracy Testing Data
The accuracy of the CONTROL® System was assessed by comparing blood glucose results obtained by patients with those obtained using the Hitachi Glucose Autoanalyzer 747, a laboratory instrument. Glucose levels were measured on 68 and 425 fresh capillary blood specimens by 104 diabetic patients and three healthcare professionals at three different clinical centers.
A fine and direct correlation between Hitachi 747 and CONTROL® were confirmed in the 410 blood samples with the correlation coefficient R=0.9797 and the 104 patients with the correlation coefficient R=0.9782 (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 respectively). The results indicate that the use of the CONTROL® System generates similar results as the Hitatchi Glucose Autoanalyzer, a laboratory instrument used in hospitals to test for glucose concentration. It also suggests that the fine correlation between the two devices lie within the accuracy standards of the NCCLS.

The study done by the Clinical centers resulted in 100% of the tested specimens, in region marked A, had glucose values that deviated from the reference method of less than 20% or are less than 70 mg/dL by both methods. As a result, the error grid indicates an excellent accuracy standard in obtaining the concentration of glucose with the CONTROL® System. (Fig. 3 & Table 1)

Zone A = clinically accurate, leading to correct treatment decisions
Zone B = deviation from the reference by more than 20%, leading to benign or no treatment. Zone C = over-correcting of acceptable blood glucose levels. Zone D = represent a potentially dangerous failure to detect and treat glucose levels outside the desired target range. Zone E = represents results that would lead to an erroneous treatment. |
The study done with the lay diabetics resulted in 99% of the tested subjects, in region marked A, had glucose values that deviated from the reference method of less than 20% or are less than 70 mg/dL mg/dL by both methods. As a result, the error grid indicates an excellent accuracy standard in obtaining
the concentration of glucose with the CONTROL® System. (Fig. 4 & Table 2).

In conclusion, it suggests that the accuracy shows a fine correlation between Hitachi 747 and the CONTROL® System with the correlation of R = 0.9797. As a result, the data shown indicates that the results like within the accuracy standard of NCCLS.
