Incorrect test results may result in the wrong therapy recommendation and
may lead to serious adverse health conditions. Therefore, follow the
proceeding instructions carefully and read the items listed in
Test Strip
Precautions
below.
Test Strip Precautions
• Only use Dario Test Strips. Using other test strips with the Dario Glucose
Meter can produce inaccurate results.
• Inspect each test strip cartridge before opening it for the first time. If you
see any damage to the cartridge lid, or if anything prevents the lid from
closing properly, do not use the test strips.
• Run a control test every time you open a new test strip cartridge. For
additional information, refer to

.
• Store unused test strips in their original cartridge. Do not remove test
strips from the test strip cartridge and put them into another container.
• Close the cartridge tightly right after you remove a test strip. This helps
to keep the test strips dry.
• Check the “Use by” date on the test strip cartridge. Do not use the test
strips after that date.
• Write down the date the test strip cartridge was first opened. Check this
date before you use a test strip from this cartridge. If the current date
exceeds the shelf life, do not use the test strips from this cartridge. Refer
to the Instructions for Use information on the test strip cartridge
packaging.
• Do not move tests strips from one cartridge to another.
• Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the cartridge.
• Use the test strips as indicated in this guide.
• Do not store your test strips in temperatures below 36°F (2°C) or above
90°F (32°C).
• Store your test strips in an area where the relative humidity is between
10-90%.
• Do not place the test strips in a freezer.
• Do not expose your test strips to direct sunlight or moisture.
