[. . . ] To ensure your test strips function to the maximum possible efficiency, always observe the correct procedures for storage and handling. Important: Never use the test strips after the use-by date has expired. Use of test strips that have passed their use-by date may lead to inaccuracies in measurement values. To ensure your test strips remain in the best possible condition, note the following recommendations carefully: > After opening, write the use-by date for the test strip on the test strip container. 4 C 40 C Test strips are no longer fit for use 90 days after the date of opening. > Store the test strips in a dry, cool place away from heat between 39. 2 and 104 °F (4 and 40 °C) at a relative humidity between 50 % and 70 %. > When handling the test strips, always ensure your hands are completely dry. > Once a test strip has been removed from the container, it should be used immediately. > Never bend, cut or modify the test strips as this will lead to inaccuracies in results. Whenever the suction hole comes into contact with a drop of blood, this is filled automatically by means of a simple capillary effect. The blood is drawn to the suction hole and the glucose level is measured by the monitor. When the code strip is entered into the monitor, its parameters are read automatically and the code number appears on the display. Before continuing, always check that the code displayed matches the one on the test strip container. Before taking a blood sample, we recommend you note the following procedure and also read through the blood glucose monitor handbook for optimum results. When using alcohol swabs, ensure pricking point is completely dry before taking a sample.
