Taking a test
• Do Not test if there is condensation (water build-up)
on your meter. Move your meter and test strips to a
cool, dry spot and wait for the meter surface to dry
before testing.
• 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.
• 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, control
solution, or any contaminants 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.
• When you first open a vial of test strips, record the
discard date on the label. Refer to the test strip insert
or vial label for instructions on determining the
discard date.
