Hi,

I've just received my monitor... with no control test solution?!! Nothing on the box indicated it was included but I thought it would be necessary to know it was working correctly. I also can't find anywhere to purchase some on their website.

Help!

You don't need to check your meter before using it :) You can check it with the control solution if you have concerns that it's not right (ie different readings from other meter or not the reading you expected) - but it's supposed to work fine out of the box :)

But, as suggested, you can always contact Abbott and ask - most meter companies will send you the control solution on request.
