Notes on using smartLAB
®
nG
blood glucose test strips
• Use only with
smartLAB®
nG
Blood Glucose Meters.
• Run a control solution test every time you open a new box of
test strips
• Keep the test strips in their original bottle.
• After you take a test strip out of the bottle, tightly close the
bottle immediately. This keeps the test strips dry.
• Use the test strip within three minutes after taking it out of
the bottle.
• The strip is for single use only. Do not reuse it.
• Record the date you open the test strip bottle. Be sure to check
the expiration date on the test strip bottle. The test strip is
good for 6 months from the date the bottle is opened or until
the expiration date on the bottle, whichever comes first.
• Store the test strip bottle and your meter in a cool dry place.
• Store the test strips between 2°C ~30°C (36°F - 86°F). Do not
freeze.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to the test strip before
you insert it into the meter.
• Do not touch the test strip with wet hands. Do not bend, cut,
or twist the test strips.
