Caring for system
Storing your system
Store your meter, strips and control
solution in your carrying case after
each use. Store each item in a cool, dry
place below 32°C (90°F), but do not
refrigerate. Keep all items away from
direct sunlight and heat. Tightly close
the cap on the test strip via land/or
control solution vial immediatly after
use to avoid contamination or damage.
Store test strips only in their original
vial.
Checking for expiration to strips
and control solution
Test strips and control solution have
expiration dates printed on their vials.
When you first open a test strip or
control solution vial, you must record
the opening date in the space provided
on the label.Use all test strips and
control solution within 3 months after
the first opening.
•
Do not use the strips or control
solution after the expiration
date printed on the vial or the
discard date (date first opened
plus 3 months), whichever comes
first, or your results may be
inaccurate.
•
Do not use test strips if the vial is
damaged or left open to air. This
could lead to error messages or
tests that read higher than the
actual result.
