How to store blood glucose test strips
Pay attention to the following when storing test strips:
-
Blood glucose test strips should be stored at room temperature between 4˚C to 30˚C and at normal humidity levels (below 70%).
- Do not place test strips in the refrigerator.
- Do not pack test strips separately into several small bags, as humidity will affect the accuracy of strips.
- Test strips are effective for either 3-4 months after opening or until the expiration date if sealed and unopened.
- After opening a test strip vial, make sure to tightly close the lid again to prevent the ingress of humidity.
