Caring for Your Test Strips
• Storage conditions: 2ºC to 30ºC (35.6ºF to 86ºF) and below 85% relative
humidity for all test strips (blood glucose, blood glucose/hematocrit/hemoglobin,
β-ketone, total cholesterol, uric acid). Do NOT freeze.
• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer to another
container.
• Store test strip packages in a cool and dry place. Keep away from direct
sunlight and heat.
• After removing a test strip from the vial, immediately close the vial cap tightly.
• Touch the test strip with clean and dry hands.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiry date. This may cause inaccurate
results.
• Do not bend, cut, or alter a test strip in any way.
• Keep the strip vial away from children since the cap and the test strip may be a
choking hazard. If swallowed, promptly see a doctor for assistance.
For further information, please refer to the test strip package insert.
Important Control Solution Information
• Use only our control solutions with your device.
• Do not use the control solution beyond the expiry date or 3 months after rst
opening. Write the opening date on the control solution vial and discard the
remaining solution after 3 months.
• It is recommended that the control solution test be done at room temperature
20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Make sure your control solution, device, and test
strips are at this specied temperature range before testing.
• Shake the vial before use, discard the rst drop of control solution, and wipe off
the dispenser tip to ensure a pure sample and an accurate result.
• Store the control solution tightly closed at temperatures between 2°C to 30°C
(35.6°F to 86°F). Do NOT freeze.
