8 test strips
important information about test strips:
- Keep the test strips in a cool, dry place (only in original container, below 40 °C or 104 °F). Protect the
strips from direct sunshine and do not freeze them.
- Only touch the test strips with clean, dry hands. When taking the strips out of the container and feeding
them into the measuring device, try to hold them only by the handle.
- When you take a test strip out of the container, put the cover back on the container straight away and
make sure that it is closed to form an airtight seal. Always use each test strip as soon as you have taken it
out of the container.
- Write the opening date on the container label when you open it for the first time. You should use the rest
of the test trips up within 90 days of opening.
- Do not use any test strips which are past their use-by date, since this can falsify the measured results. The
use-by date is printed on the container.
- Only apply blood samples or the control solutions supplied to the gap on the test strip. Application of
other substances leads to inaccurate or false measured values.
- The test strips must not be bent, cut or otherwise altered in any way.
Warning: Keep the container with the test strips away from children! The sealing cap means there
is a danger of suffocation. In addition, the sealing cap contains drying materials which
could be hazardous to health if breathed in or swallowed. This can lead to skin or eye
irritations.
