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.
