•Do not use test strips that are bent, torn, cut, or damaged in any way.

•Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the bottle.

•Do not transfer test strips to a new bottle or any other container.

•Compare the color of the test strip confirmation dot to the “Unused” color dot shown on the Color Chart on the test strip bottle label. If the color of the test strip confirmation dot is darker than that shown on the Color Chart, do not use the test strip. The result may be inaccurate.
