Frequently asked questions
Does this require manual calibration before use?
No, these test strips feature a No Coding Required technology. This eliminates the need for manual calibration, which not only saves you time but also helps reduce the potential for user errors during testing.
Is a large amount of blood needed for testing?
Not at all. One of the primary advantages of these strips is the ultra-small sample size requirement of just 0.3 µL. This is among the smallest sample volumes in the industry, specifically designed to make frequent daily testing more comfortable.
Are these compatible with my existing FreeStyle meter?
These strips are engineered exclusively for use with the following systems:
- FreeStyle Lite Monitor System
- FreeStyle Freedom Lite Monitor System
They are optimized for these specific devices to ensure accurate and reliable results every time.
How should I store these test strips properly?
To maintain the integrity and accuracy of your test strips, please ensure they are stored within a temperature range of 40°F to 86°F (4°C to 30°C). The included opaque vial is designed to protect the strips from light and environmental moisture.
Are these strips considered FSA eligible?
Yes, these FreeStyle Lite test strips are FSA eligible, making them a convenient and qualified medical expense for your health spending account.
Can I reuse these strips to save on supplies?
No, these strips are designed for single-use only. For your safety and to ensure the accuracy of your readings, please do not reuse test strips and always check that the expiration date has not passed before use.
Is this product suitable for daily glucose monitoring?
Absolutely. With 50 strips per pack, this product is ideal for individuals who require frequent, daily glucose monitoring. The design focuses on minimizing discomfort and simplifying the testing process, making it a reliable solution for your ongoing health management.
Are these strips reliable for testing in the dark?
While the strips themselves are designed for precision, they are intended to be used with the FreeStyle Lite and Freedom Lite systems. These monitors feature built-in backlights and test strip port lights, which allow you to perform your glucose tests accurately, even in low-light conditions.
Is this product intended for professional or personal use?
These test strips are classified for in vitro diagnostic use and are specifically intended for self-testing by individuals managing their own blood glucose levels at home.
What is the primary benefit of the small sample size?
The benefit of the 0.3 µL sample size is significantly reduced physical discomfort. By requiring such a tiny amount of blood, the testing process becomes much less invasive, which is a major advantage for patients who need to test their glucose levels multiple times throughout the day.
