Distributed by Menarini Diagnostics UK - if test strips have been exposed to high humidity, the results can be falsely high (MDA/2015/039)
  • Ensure that patients, or their carers, are able to use this device and that they are aware of what to do if a result is out of their normal range
  • To avoid false high readings, advise them to follow the instructions for use, which includes making sure that the strips are not exposed to high environmental humidity for a prolonged period of time. Users should always:
    • close the vial immediately after each use
    • store the test strips in their original vial
    • write the discard date on the vial label, which should be 9 months after the date of first opening the vial itself
