strip. The bottle is designed to keep the test strips dry. Do not
place or store other items or medications in the test strip bottle.
Avoid exposing meter and test strips to excessive humidity,

can damage your test strips. This could lead to inaccurate
results. Do not use a test strip that appears damaged or has
been used.
• Do not use expired materials. Using expired material can cause
inaccurate results. Always check the expiration dates on your
test materials.
NOTE:
If this is the first time you are opening the control
solution, write the date on the bottle.
• Do not use control solution that is more than 6 months past the
date you first opened the bottle.
