Disposing of your meter

Caring for your test strips

10% and 90% relative humidity (non-
condensing) for blood sugar test strips and
2 °C to 30 °C and between 10% and 85% relative
humidity (non-condensing) for β-ketone test
strips. DO NOT freeze.
• Keep the tests strips in their original tube. Do
not place in a different tube. For foil-wrapped
test strips: do not unwrap until required.
• Store the packaging containing the test strips
in a cool and dry place. Keep away from direct
sunlight and heat.
• Reseal the tube immediately after removing a
blood sugar test strip.
• Ensure that your hands are clean and dry
before touching a test strip. Use the test strip
immediately after removing it from the tube/foil
packaging.
• Do not use a test strip after its expiry date, as the
result may be inaccurate.
• Do not bend, cut or alter the blood sugar test
strip.
• Keep tubes and foil packaging containing test
strips out of reach of children. Immediately alert
the emergency services if one is swallowed.
