For more detailed information about your test strip,
please read its instructions for use before monitoring.

Do not use out-of-date test
strips. Check the expiration
date printed on the test strip
box and on each test strip foil
packet. If only the month and
year are printed on the test
strip, then the expiration date is
the last day of that month.
•
Use the test strip immediately when you take it out of its
foil packet.
•
Do not use a wet, bent, scratched, or damaged test strip.
•
Do not use the test strip if its foil packet has a puncture or
tear in it.
•
Before you monitor, allow your monitor and test strip to
reach the recommended operating temperature range of
the test strip. The test strip operating temperature range is
in the blood glucose test strip instructions for use.
