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 30°C (86°F). 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 four 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 colour of an unused test
strip shown on the Colour 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.
