wait for the meter surface to dry before testing.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 30°C.

a test strip and perform a test. Use the test strip immediately
after removing it from the vial, especially in high humidity
environments.

avoid contamination and damage.
• Store unused test strips only in their original vial.
• Do Not return the used test strip to the vial after performing
a test.

applied to it. Test strips are for single use only.

• With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere
on its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test strip in any
way.

the meter, lancing device and cap should always be cleaned
and disinfected prior to use by that person. See “Cleaning and
disinfection” in Section4.
