The verification | calibration | Control Test ?procedure consists of the following steps:

A) insert R1 strip into the meter (meter reads a reference resistor)

B) insert R2 strip into the meter (meter reads a second reference resistor)

C) meter answers with CTRL string on the screen

? ? ? MY UNDERSTANDING:

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?the meter entered into the calibration phase,?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?waiting for the droplet of the Control Solution

D) insert test strip into the meter?

E) drop a droplet of the Control Solution on to the test strip

? ? ? ? MY UNDERSTANDING:

? ? ? ? ? ? ?Based on reference reading (R1 and R2), the actual reading (acidity of the Control Solutionn?and the factory data?stored in the EEPROM (aka Code Card), the firmware calculates the calibration?parameters. The 'factory data' depends on the characteristics ?of the particular 'chemical batch' used?for the production of the test strips.

?

Conclusion:

? ?Yes, repeating the calibration procedure, can | could make a difference. Calibration is a dynamic process.
