Note:
Check the expiration and discard dates on the test strip vial.
All expiration dates are printed in Year-Month format. 2018-
01 indicates January, 2018. Your 2in1. MaX test strips have 6
months shelf life after you first open the test strip vial. Write
the discard date on the vial label when you first open it. Make
sure the test strip does not appear damaged. Prior to testing,
wipe the test site with an alcohol swab or soapy water. Use
warm water wash hands to increase blood flow if necessary.
Then dry your hands and the test site thoroughly. Make sure
there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
Preparing the Lancing Device
For fingertip sampling, adjust the depth penetration to reduce
the discomfort. You do not need the clear cap for fingertip
sampling.
1. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the
lancing device. Insert a sterile lancet into the lancing device
and push it until the lancet comes to a complete stop in the
lancing device.
