Caring for Your Test Strips
● Storage conditions: 39.2°F to 104°F (4°C to 40°C), below 85%
relative humidity. Do
NOT freeze.
● Store your test strips in their original vial only. Do not transfer to
another container.
● Store test strip packages in a cool dry place. Keep away from direct
sunlight and heat.
● After removing a test strip from the vial, immediately close the vial cap
tightly.
● Touch the test strip with clean and dry hands.
● Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
● Write the opening date on the vial label when you first opened it.
Discard remaining test strips after 3 months of first opening.
● Do not use test strips beyond the expiry date. This may cause
inaccurate results.
● Do not bend, cut, or alter a test strip in any way.
● Keep the strip vial away from children since the cap and the test strip
may be a choking hazard. If swallowed, promptly see a doctor for help.
For further information, please refer to the test strip package insert.
