Using Your Test Strips
You may use either ACCU-CHEK Comfort Curve or ACCU-CHEK Advantage test strips with this meter.
For accurate results, use only these test strips.
• Replace the code key and run a control test every time
you begin using a new box of test strips.
• Store test strips in their original vial. Do not remove
test strips from the test strip vial and put them into
another container, such as a plastic bag, a pocket,
purse, wallet, etc…
• Close the cap tightly immediately after removing a test
strip. This helps keep the test strips dry.
• After you take a test strip out of the vial, be sure to use
it within three minutes.
• Be sure to check the expiration “Use By” date on the
test strip vial. Do not use the test strips after that date.
Throw the test strips away. If the “Use By” date is
missing or cannot be read, do not use the test strips.
• Store your test strips and meter in a cool, dry place
between 36 °F and 90 ºF (2 °C and 32 ºC). Do not
freeze or refrigerate, or expose strips to heat, moisture
or humidity, such as in a kitchen, bathroom or laundry
room. Temperatures outside the required range, as
well as moisture and humidity, can damage your test
strips and lead to inaccurate results.
• Do not reuse test strips. Once you have put control
solution or blood on a test strip, throw it away. If you
need to retest, use a new test strip.
