• Only use Accu-Chek Performa Test Strips.
• Replace the code chip every time you
open a new box of test strips.

container.

after you take a test strip out. This helps
keep the test strips dry.

take it out of the container.

!
kitchen)! Heat and moisture can damage your test strips.

test strip container. Do not use the test
strips after that date.
• Store the test strip container and your
meter in a cool dry place, such as a
bedroom.
• Store the test strips at 2°C to 32°C. Do
not refrigerate or freeze.
• Do not apply blood or control solution to
the test strip before you insert it into the
