9.4. CARING FOR YOUR TEST STRIPS
• Storage conditions: 2°C to 32°C (35.6°F to 89.6°F), below 85% relative humidity. DO NOT
freeze.
• Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer to another container.
• Store test strip packages in a cool dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
• After removing a test strip from the vial, immediately close the vial cap tightly.
• Touch the test strip with clean and dry hands. Use each test strip immediately after
removing it from the vial.
• Write the opening date on the vial label when you first opened it. Discard remaining test
strips after 6 months.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiry date. This may cause inaccurate results.
• Do not bend, cut, or alter a test strip in any way.
• Keep the strip vial away from children since the cap and the test strip may be a choking
hazard. If swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.
For further information, please refer to the test strip package insert.
9.5. IMPORTANT CONTROL SOLUTION INFORMATION
• Use only our control solutions with your meter.
• Do not use the control solution beyond the expiry date or 3 months after first opening.
Write the opening date on the control solution vial and discard the remaining solution
after 3 months.
• It is recommended that the control solution test be done at room temperature 20°C
to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Make sure your control solution, meter, and test strips are at this
specified temperature range before testing.
• Shake the vial before use, discard the first drop of control solution, and wipe off the
dispenser tip to ensure a pure sample and an accurate result.
• Store the control solution tightly closed at temperatures between 2°C to 30°C (35.6°F to
86°F). DO NOT freeze.
