Storage and Handling:
Prior to first use, check that the vial is undamaged and
closed.
Store the Omnitest® 3 test strip vials in a cool, dry place
between 2 – 30 °C (36 – 86 °F). Do not refrigerate or freeze.
Keep out of direct sunlight. Do not use test strips which
had been stored under inappropriate conditions.
Store test strips in their original vials only. Do not put the
test strips in new vials or in any other container.
Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing an
Omnitest® 3 test strip. This keeps the strips fully functional
right up to the expiry date.
Use test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
Do not use test strips after the expiration date printed on
the package or vial since it may cause inaccurate results.
Make a notation on the vial label of the date when you first
open it. Discard remaining Omnitest® 3 test strips 6 months
after first opening the vial.
Avoid getting dirt, food or water on the test strip. Do not
handle test strips with wet hands. All parts of the test strip
should only be touched with dry and clean fingers.
Do not bend, cut, or alter an Omnitest® 3 test strip.
Omnitest® 3 test strips are for single use only.
