• Store test strip packages in a cool, dry place between
39.2°F–104°F (4°C–40°C). Keep away from direct sunlight
and heat. Do not refrigerate.
• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer
them to a new vial or any other container.
• With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere
on its surface when removing it from the vial or inserting it into
the meter.
• Immediately use a test strip after removing it from the vial,
replace the vial cap and close it tightly.
• Only apply a blood sample or a control solution sample to the
test strip’s absorbent channel. Applying other substances
to the test strip’s absorbent channel will cause inaccurate
results.
• Record the discard date on the vial label when you first open it.
Discard remaining test strips 90 days after the first opening
date.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date printed on the
package.
Warning: Keep the test strip vial away from children; the vial
cap and the test strips can be a potential chocking hazard. Never
chew or swallow a test strip. If this occurs, please seek medical
assistance immediately.
