◆ IMPORTANT Test Strip Information
For detailed information regarding
SureStepPro Test Strips, read the package
insert.
• Use only SureStepPro Test Strips with the
SureStepPro Blood Glucose Bedside Unit.
• SureStepPro Test Strips are sensitive to heat,
light, and moisture. Keep them tightly
sealed in their original bottle, and store in a
cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F). Do not
refrigerate, freeze, or place in direct heat or
sunlight.
• A lot number and CTL (control) code are
printed on the test strip bottle label. (The
CTL code encodes the test strip expiration
date, control solution ranges, and linearity
reference values.) When entering this
information, always get the lot number and
CTL code from the test strips currently in use.
• Do not use the test strips after the expiration
date printed on the bottle label.
• Discard any unused test strips 4 months after
opening. Write the opened date on the bottle
when you first open it.
• Replace the test strip bottle cap immediately
after removing a test strip and close the cap
tightly.
• Do not transfer test strips to a new bottle or
any other container.
