Q-Strips need to be placed in the Storage Container immediately after use. Keep wearing your Q-Pad until you can place it in the Storage Container. If you are changing the pad and removing the Q-Strip and you do not have the sample container you’ll unfortunately have to dispose of that strip.
You can still send in the other strip on its own and we should be able to provide you with a report. If both strips were removed and not placed in the Storage Container, you will have to order a new kit to use.
