NOTE:
• Use only OneTouchVerio® Test Strips.

code your OneTouchVerioFlex™ System is required.
• Testing must be done within operating temperature
range (6-44°C).
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the
same temperature before you test.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 5°C and
30°C.
