Why do Optium Test Strips come individually wrapped in foil packages instead of vials?
Clinical studies indicate that leaving test strip vials uncapped can significantly affect the accuracy of results. Each Optium Test Strip is sealed in an individual foil packet to protect it from air and moisture. Studies show that foil wrapping individual test strips is important for ensuring the accuracy of glucose monitoring in the real world.
