not refrigerate.
• Store your test strips in their original vial only; do not transfer
them to a new bottle or any other container.
• After removing a OneTouch
immediately replace the vial cap and close it tightly.
• With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere
on its surface when removing it from the vial or inserting it into
the meter.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
• Write the discard date on the vial label when you first open it.
Discard remaining OneTouch
three months after first opening date.
• Apply only OneTouch
sample to the top white edge. Applying other substances to
the top white edge will cause inaccurate results.

the package since they may cause inaccurate results.

any way.
