IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION

■ONE TOUCH™ Test Strips can be damaged by heat and light. Keep them sealed in the original vial. Store the vial in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F). Do not refrigerate. Do not place in direct heat or sunlight.

■ONE TOUCH Test Strips are intended for use with fresh whole blood or ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Solution. Do not use them with plasma or serum samples. Results will not be accurate.

■Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date on the vial.

■When you open a new vial of test strips, record the discard date on the vial. The discard date for test strips is four months after first opening the vial.

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

■Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial; replace the vial cap and close it tightly.

■Never transfer test strips to a new vial or any other container. Always carry test strips in their original container. Do not carry loose test strips in your meter case.

■Do not use bleach (or products containing bleach) near the test strips.

■For reliable results, use only ONE TOUCH Test Strips made by LifeScan.
