Important Test Strip Information
• Store test strip vials in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep away
from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate.
• Store test strips in their original vial only. To avoid damage or
contamination, do not transfer test strips to any other place.
• Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date printed on
the package since they may provide inaccurate results.
• After removing a test strip from the vial, replace the vial cap
immediately and close it tightly.
• With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere
on its surface.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
• Count three months from the date you first open a new vial of
test strips and write this date on the vial label. Throw test
strips and vial away after this discard date.
• Apply only OneTouch ® Ultra ™ Control Solution or a blood
sample to the test strip.
• Do not bend, cut, or modify test strips in any way.
• OneTouch
® Ultra ™ Test Strips are for single use only. Never
reuse a test strip that has had either blood or control solution
applied to it.
• Refer to additional information in the OneTouch ® Ultra ™ Test
Strip package.
