Check the expiration dates and discard dates of the test strip and control solution.
Make sure that the test strip vial has not been opened for more than 6 months and
the control solution bottle has not been opened for more than 6 months. Discard any
expired test strips or control solution.
•
Confirm the temperature in which you are testing is between 10 and 40°C
