The SureStep® System contains many small parts: test strip holder, battery door, batteries, lancets, control solution vial, test strips, test strip bottle cap, etc. Keep the system out of the reach of small children because these parts may be dangerous if swallowed.

Bleach will react with the test strips and cause inaccurate results.

The SureStep® System is for people with diabetes who need to check the level of sugar (glucose) in their blood. A drop of blood is taken from the finger and placed on a SureStep® Test Strip, which is then inserted into the SureStep® Blood Glucose Meter. The meter measures the blood glucose level and displays the result on average in 30 seconds. The system is calibrated to give a plasma value, the measurement used by most clinical laboratories. Easy-to-understand symbols guide you through the test procedure and help you if any problems arise. SureStep® Brand Test Strips are the only test strips that have been specifically designed, developed, and tested for use with the SureStep® Meter to ensure consistent quality and accuracy. For reliable results and to maintain the manufacturer’s complete service, support, and warranty, use only SureStep Brand Test Strips made by LifeScan. LEARNING 1 LEARNING 2 C...
