IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION
■ Contact with air, moisture, and light can cause false results. Keep test
strips sealed in the original moisture-resistant, light-protected package
and store in a cool, dry place not above 86° F (30° C). Do not refrigerate,
place in direct heat or sunlight, or leave bottle open.
■ DO NOT use SURESTEP ® Test Strips beyond the expiration date.
■ If using test strips from a bottle, write the discard date on the bottle
label. Discard unused test strips 4 months after first opening the bottle.
■ DO NOT use SURESTEP Test Strips that are bent, torn, cut, or changed
in any way.
■ Before testing, the confirmation dot should be off-white. DO NOT use
test strip if confirmation dot is darker than the color of an unused test
strip shown on the Color Chart included with the test strip package.
■ Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the package.
■ Replace the test strip bottle cap immediately after removing a test strip
and close the cap tightly.
■ Never transfer test strips to a new bottle or any other container.
■ DO NOT use bleach, or products containing bleach, with the test strips.
■ For reliable results, use only SURESTEP Test Strips made by LifeScan.
