Abbott Freestyle PRT03831-xxx - Manual (Page 38)

Steps Do This
1.
Verify that your FreeStyle
Control Solution is current.
Note: FreeStyle Control Solution is good for three months
after opening the bottle, or until the expiration date printed
on the label, whichever comes first. Count forward three
months from the date you open a new bottle of control
solution. This is your discard date. Write this date on the
side of the control solution bottle.
Example: You open the control solution on January 15th.
Count forward three months to April 15th. This is the
discard date that you record on the bottle.
2.
Prepare test strip.
a. Locate the expiration date on the vial of FreeStyle
Test Strips.
If strips are expired, obtain a new vial of strips.
b. Locate the code number (you’ll need it in a minute).
c. Remove a single test strip from the vial.
d. Close the vial tightly before continuing but do NOT
put the vial away.
