4. Running a LQC test
23
When running a LQC test, do not:
• Do not use a vial of test strips if the expiration date or discard date
recorded on the label has passed. An error will be displayed if an
expired strip is used.
• Do not touch a test strip with wet hands or wet gloves because
moisture can damage the strip.
• Do not use a test strip that has been dropped or which may have
been contaminated.
• Do not use a test strip if it appears damaged in any way.
• Do not apply control solution to a test strip until you are prompted to
do so by the meter.
• Do not add more control solution to the test strip after the test has
begun.
• Do not use any plasma or diluent after the expiration date on the vial
or bottle (the expiration date assumes that the vial or bottle has not
been opened).
