Bayer Use only test strips compatible with this meter model. Use a test strip immediately after removing it from the vial. Do not apply blood or control solution to a strip before inserting it into the meter. Close the test strip vial tightly after removing a strip to protect strips from moisture. Store unused strips in their original vial with the cap closed and check the expiration date; do not use strips after that date. Store the meter and strip vial in a cool, dry place. Refer to the enclosed leaflet for full storage and operating conditions. Health
