(Month/Day/Year) and initialed when first opened.
d. Controls are good for 90 days after opening or until the expiration
date printed on the label, whichever comes first. Aside from the
Opened Date (Month/Day/Year), also write the new expiration date
(Month/Day/Year) on the control vials.
4. Glucose Meter Touchscreen
a. Use only your finger to touch the screen elements.
b. Using a sharp-edged object (e.g., tip of a pen) can damage the
touchscreen.
c. Do not use the system in direct sunlight.
d. Direct sunlight may reduce the life expectancy and functionality of
