8. Remove a test strip from the vial and replace the vial cap. Close it tightly.

◆Check the expiration date and discard date. Do not use the test strips after these dates.

◆Compare the colour of the confirmation dot on the test strip with the “Unused” colour dot shown on the Colour Chart on the test strip vial label. If the colour of

the confirmation dot on the test strip is darker than that shown on the Colour Chart, do not use the test strip. The result may be inaccurate.

CAUTION: Use a test strip as soon as possible after removing it from the vial. Prolonged exposure to moisture, light, or heat can cause inaccurate results. Store test strips tightly capped in the original vial in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Never transfer test strips to another container.

NOTE: If opening the test strip vial for the first time, write the discard date (4 months from day of opening) on the vial label and perform a control solution test following the instructions in

Checking the System.
