Important Safety Information
•
Always keep the test strips in the
original bottle. Tightly close the
bottle immediately after removing
a test strip.
The bottle is designed to
keep the test strips dry. Exposure to
room humidity from leaving the bottle
open or not storing them in the original
bottle can damage your test strips.
This could lead to inaccurate test results.
•
Wash and dry your hands well before and
after testing.
•
Test strips are for single use only. Do not use a
test strip that appears damaged or has
been used.
•
Your test strip is designed to easily “sip” the
blood into the sample tip.
Do not drop blood
directly on the flat surface of the test strip.
•
Do not press the test strip against your finger
when testing.
This may block the sample tip.
