GlucoPlus™ TEST STRIP

IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION

Do not use test strips beyond the expiration
date on the vial. The discard date for test strips
is (3) months after first opening the vial. Record
the discard date on the vial, when you open a
new vial of test strips.

Do not use damaged test strips or test strips
changed in any way, use test strip immediately
after removing it from the vial; replace the vial
cap and close it tightly.

Do not transfer test strips to a new vial. Always
carry test strips in their original vial.

GLUCOPLUS™ Blood Glucose Test Strips are
intended for in vitro diagnostic use with
capillary whole blood or GLUCOPLUS™
Control Solution. Results will not be accurate if
used with plasma or serum samples.

GLUCOPLUS™ System measures the amount
of glucose in capillary whole blood. Blood can
be applied to both the right and left side
aperture of the GLUCOPLUS™ Blood Glucose
Test Strip and is automatically drawn into the
reaction cell where the reaction takes place.

GLUCOPLUS™ Blood Glucose 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 to 40_/104_ and above 10_/50_.
Do not refrigerate.

Do not place in direct heat or sunlight.

Do not carry loose test strips in your carrying
case.
