Storing Your System
Checking the Expiration of Strips and Control Solution
Store your meter, strips and control solution in your carrying case after each use.
Store each item in a cool, dry place below 90°F (32°C). Do NOT refrigerate.
Keep all items away from direct sunlight and heat.
Tightly close the cap on the test strip vial and/or control solution vial immediately after use to
avoid contamination or damage. Store test strips only in their original vial.
The Gmate® Test Strips and Control Solution have expiration dates printed on the vials. When you
rst open the test strip and control solution vials, immediately record the discard date, 3 months
after rst opening, on the vial labels.
Caution
Do NOT use the test strips or control solution after the expiration date, discard date (date rst
opened plus 3 months), whichever comes rst, or your results may be inaccurate.
Do NOT use test strips if the vial is damaged or left open to air. This could lead to inaccurate
test results and error messages.
