Taking a test
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between
5°C and 30°C.
• Do Not open the test strip vial until you are ready to
remove a test strip and perform a test. Use the test
strip immediately after removing it from the vial,
especially in high humidity environments.
• Tightly close the cap on the vial immediately after use
to 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.
• Do Not re-use a test strip that had blood or control
solution applied to it. Test strips are for single use only.
• Do Not test with a test strip that is bent or damaged.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: If another person assists you with testing,
the meter, lancing device and cap should always be
cleaned and disinfected prior to use by that person.
