2-2-2 Handling Test Strips
IMPORTANT:
• Use only test strips specified for the instrument.
The test strips, "AUTION Sticks", "Uriflet S (9UB)" and "AUTION SCREEN", are available
for use with the instrument. Carefully read the package inserts of the test strips and
observe the expiration date.
• Check test strip dating before use.
Do not use the test strips beyond the expiration date or test strips with discolored pad
areas even if they are within the expiration date. Using old or degraded strips may
produce incorrect results.
• Prepare test strips just before use.
Take as many test strips as you need out of the bottle just before measuring samples
and immediately cap the bottle. If the test strips exposed to the air are left for a long time
without being used, they can absorb moisture in the air or dust can stick to them,
whereby producing incorrect results.
• Do not touch the pad area on the test strips.
Touching the test strips can cause sebum to adhere to the surface, whereby producing
incorrect results.
• Correctly select the test strip type.
Before carrying out measurement, set the type of the test strip you are to use by button
operation. An incorrect test strip setting can produce incorrect results. However, you do
not have to make the setting for auto-identifiable test strips, whose type can be
automatically detected by the instrument during measurement.
• Do not dispose of the desiccant.
Do not dispose of the desiccant in the test strip bottle before using all the test strips.
Without the desiccant, the test strips will absorb moisture in the air and lose their
effectiveness.
