Using Your Test Strips
You may use either ACCU-CHEK Comfort Curve or ACCU-CHEK Advantage test strips with this meter.
ACCU-CHEK Comfort Curve test strips are recommended because they’re faster and require less blood than
ACCU-CHEK Advantage test strips. This means
easier
and more
convenient testing
for you.
Never store test strips in areas of high heat and moisture, such as the kitchen, bathroom
or laundry room – heat and moisture can damage them.
•
For accurate results, use only approved test strips.
•
Replace the code key and run a control test every
time you get a new box of test strips.
•
Store test strips in their original vial.
•
Close the vial cap tightly immediately after
removing a test strip.
•
After you take a test strip out of the vial, be sure
to use it within three minutes.
•
Note the expiration “Use By” date on the test strip
vial. Throw test strips away after that date.
•
Store your test strips and meter in a cool, dry
place. Refer to the test strip package insert for
more information.
Do not store test strips in a refrigerator.
