Using Your Test Strips
You may use either Accu-Chek Comfort Curve or Accu-Chek Advantage Test Strips with this meter. Accu-Chek
Comfort Curve Test Strips are recommended because they’re faster and require less blood than Accu-Chek
Advantage Test Strips. This means easier and more convenient testing for you.
•For accurate results, use only approved test strips.
• Replace the code key and run a control test every
time you begin using a new box of test strips.
• Store test strips in their original vial.
•Close the bottle cap tightly immediately after
removing a test strip.
• After you take a test strip out of the vial, be sure
to use it within three minutes.
•Note the expiration “Use By” date on the test strip
vial. Throw test strips away after that date.
• Store your test strips and meter in a cool, dry
place between 32 to 90ºF (0 to 32ºC).
Do not store test strips in a refrigerator.

!
Never store test strips in areas of high heat and moisture, such as the kitchen,
bathroom or laundry room – heat and moisture can damage them.
