Cleaning Your Meter
First, remove the anti-microbial meter cover. Second, use a lint free cloth dampened with soapy water or isopropyl (70% - 80%) to clean the outside of the blood glucose meter.
Microdot Meter Disinfecting Guideline: To disinfect the meter, dilute 1 mL of household bleach (5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite solution) in 9 mL of water to achieve a 1:10 dilution (final concentration of 0.5% - 0.6% sodium hypochlorite). The solution can then be used to dampen a paper towel (do not saturate the towel). Then use the damped towel to thoroughly wipe down the meter.
Please note that there are commercially available 1:10 bleach wipes from a variety of manufactures.
Germicidal wipes are readily available through major medical distributors. To use these products, remove a wipe from container and follow product label instructions to disinfect meter. Take extreme care not to get liquid in the test strip dock or key code parts of the meter.

CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
This chapter describes the necessary steps to test with the Microdot® Control
Solutions in order to validate the performance of the Microdot Xtra Meter and
Microdot Xtra Strips.
Operating Guidelines: When Should You Conduct a
Control Solution Test?
Any time you open a new vial of test
strips.
Whenever you think the system
is not working properly.
If the blood glucose test results
differ from the resident’s symptoms
or non-symptoms.
If you believe the results are not
accurate.
If you drop the meter.
If the vial of test strips has been
left open for an extended period
of time.
It is critical to follow the Operating
Guidelines, on the right, to obtain
accurate results while using the
Microdot Xtra Glucose System.
Use only Microdot Control Solutions
(High and Low).
Check the expiration date on the
control solution vial. Do not use
if expired or if the discard date
has passed.
Control solution, meter and test
strips should come to room
temperature before testing
(66-77˚F / 20-25˚C).
Use solution for three months
after first opening. Record the
discard date (opening date
plus three months) on the
control solution vial. Discard
after three months.
Close tightly and store the control
solution at temperatures between
50-86˚F (10-30˚C).

TESTING WITH PATIENTS
What You Do
3. Apply sample.
4. Results in
10 seconds.
Notes
The blood drop symbol will flash alternately to indicate the meter has detected that a test strip has been inserted and is ready for the blood sample to be added.
Apply the drop of blood directly to the edge of the test strip, and allow the sample to wick automatically into the test zone.
If you do not apply a blood sample within one minute, the meter will turn itself off.
Either reinsert the test strip or press the
M button to turn the meter back on.
After an adequate blood sample has been applied to the test strip, the Microdot®
Xtra Meter will display three running dashes, which indicates the meter is performing the test. After 10 seconds, the test result will display.
5. Dispose of
lancet.
Dispose of used lancet in an approved sharps container.

6. Dispose of
test strip.
Simply press the eject button on the meter to dispose of used test strip.
Note: If the blood test result is lower than 20 mg/dL,
“Lo” will appear on the meter display.
This indicates severe hypoglycemia
(low blood glucose). You should immediately treat your hypoglycemia as recommended by your physician’s protocol.
If the blood test result is higher than 525 mg/dL,
“Hi” will appear on the meter display.
This indicates severe hyperglycemia
(high blood glucose). You should immediately treat your hyperglycemia as recommended by your physicians protocol.

CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
5. Compare the results with the ranges of
expected results shown on the test strip
vial. (Low = Blue Cap, High = Red Cap)
6. You should obtain results within the
expected range printed on the test
strip vial. If this is not so, repeat the test.
If the results are out of the range printed on the test strip vial, check the following:
Was the vial at room temperature?
Did you shake the bottle of control
solution before using?
Has the control solution expiration or discard date expired?
Is the meter malfunctioning?
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for the High

Notes:
The control solution test is similar to a blood test except that you use
Microdot® Control Solution instead of a drop of blood. The control solution ranges printed on the test strip vial are for Microdot Control
Solutions only. It is used to check the meter and test strip performance.
It is NOT a recommended range for your blood glucose level. When performing a control solution test it does not matter which solution you use first, the Low or High.
Chapter 3
CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
Control Solution Test Procedure:
1. Shake Low Control Solution bottle

2. Remove cap and discard the first drop
of Control Solution and wipe off the
dispenser tip to ensure a good sample
and an accurate result.
3. Insert a test strip into the Microdot Xtra
meter. Be sure the black contact bars
go into the meter. Push the strip in
firmly. Be sure it can go no further.
3.
4. Invert bottle and squeeze out one
drop of control solution. Apply
the drop to the strip by bringing the

CONTROL SOLUTION TESTING
This chapter describes the necessary steps to test with the Microdot® Control
Solutions in order to validate the performance of the Microdot Xtra Meter and
Microdot Xtra Strips.
Operating Guidelines: When Should You Conduct a
Control Solution Test?
Any time you open a new vial of test
strips.
Whenever you think the system
is not working properly.
If the blood glucose test results
differ from the resident’s symptoms
or non-symptoms.
If you believe the results are not
accurate.
If you drop the meter.
If the vial of test strips has been
left open for an extended period
of time.
It is critical to follow the Operating
Guidelines, on the right, to obtain
accurate results while using the
Microdot Xtra Glucose System.
Use only Microdot Control Solutions
(High and Low).
Check the expiration date on the
control solution vial. Do not use
if expired or if the discard date
has passed.
Control solution, meter and test
strips should come to room
temperature before testing
(66-77˚F / 20-25˚C).
Use solution for three months
after first opening. Record the
discard date (opening date
plus three months) on the
control solution vial. Discard
after three months.
Close tightly and store the control
solution at temperatures between
50-86˚F (10-30˚C).
Do not refrigerate. Do not freeze.

Cleaning Your Meter
First, remove the anti-microbial meter cover. Second, use a lint free cloth dampened with soapy water or isopropyl (70% - 80%) to clean the outside of the blood glucose meter.
Microdot Meter Disinfecting Guideline: To disinfect the meter, dilute 1 mL of household bleach (5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite solution) in 9 mL of water to achieve a 1:10 dilution (final concentration of 0.5% - 0.6% sodium hypochlorite). The solution can then be used to dampen a paper towel (do not saturate the towel). Then use the damped towel to thoroughly wipe down the meter.
Please note that there are commercially available 1:10 bleach wipes from a variety of manufactures.
Germicidal wipes are readily available through major medical distributors. To use these products, remove a wipe from container and follow product label instructions to disinfect meter. Take extreme care not to get liquid in the test strip dock or key code parts of the meter.

Frequently asked questions
You should conduct a control solution test any time you open a new vial of test strips, whenever you suspect the system is not working properly, if blood glucose results differ from a resident's symptoms, if you believe results are inaccurate, if the meter is dropped, or if the test strip vial has been left open for an extended period.
First, repeat the test. If the result is still out of range, check if the vial was at room temperature, if the control solution bottle was shaken well, and if the control solution's expiration or discard date has passed. Do not test blood until control results are within the expected ranges. If issues persist, contact Customer Service.
'Lo' indicates a blood glucose level lower than 20 mg/dL (severe hypoglycemia). 'Hi' indicates a blood glucose level higher than 525 mg/dL (severe hyperglycemia). In both cases, you should recheck the level and follow your facility's protocol for treating severe low or high blood sugar.
Used lancets should be disposed of in an approved sharps container. Used test strips can be disposed of by simply pressing the eject button on the meter.
First, remove the anti-microbial meter cover. Clean the outside with a lint-free cloth dampened with soapy water or isopropyl (70%-80%). To disinfect, use a 1:10 dilution of household bleach (0.5%-0.6% sodium hypochlorite) to dampen a paper towel, then wipe the meter thoroughly, or use commercially available germicidal wipes. Be careful not to get liquid into the test strip dock or key code parts.
