◆ IMPORTANT Test Strip Information
For detailed information regarding SureStepPro Test Strips,
read the package insert.
• Use only SureStepPro Test Strips with the
SureStepFlexx Blood Glucose Meter.
• SureStepPro Test Strips are sensitive to heat, light,
and moisture. Keep them tightly sealed in their
original bottle, and store in a cool, dry place below
30°C (86°F). Do not refrigerate, freeze, or place in
direct heat or sunlight.
• A lot number and CTL (control) code are printed on
the test strip bottle label. (The CTL code encodes
the test strip expiration date, control solution
ranges, and linearity reference values.) When
entering the lot number and CTL code, always get
the information from the test strips currently in use.
• Do not use the test strips after the expiration date
printed on the bottle label.
• Discard any unused test strips 4 months after
opening. Write the opened date on the bottle when
you first open it.
• Replace the test strip bottle cap immediately after
removing a test strip and close the cap tightly.
• Do not transfer test strips to a new bottle or any
other container.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it
from the bottle.
