Using Your Test Strips - Roche Accu-Chek Complete Owner's Booklet

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.
• 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.
▲
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.
