The strips aren't marked for a Control line or Test line. If you test & have one line, how do you know if it's C (negative) or T (invalid)?

In time you can see the general position where the lines should be. The control line is always situated closer to the handle. It's good to store one stick that has 2 lines and use that one to compare.

If you have the envelope of the strip, there is explained about C or T lines. The blue handle-side is Control line.

On the back of the package it shows you, line the strip up with the picture. The line closest to where you hold it is the control, the line closest to where you pee is the test. The control line has always shown up for me, the test line on the LH kit will vary in color, when it matches the control it is positive.

The control line ("C") should always be there, that's how you know the test is valid. If there is no control line at all then the test is invalid and you should take another. A line in both the control spot and test spot ("T") means you're pregnant. After how long did the test line appear? I haven't heard of it disappearing before so I'd take another test to be on the safe side. If a line appears in the test spot after 10 minutes, then it may be an evaporation line and does not mean you're pregnant (a test is invalid after 10 minutes because of this).

Two lines (even if the lower one is faint) means negative. Top line only means positive. No top line or no lines at all means invalid test.

The second line showing means positive however I kept mines after the test and it still showed one line only even after a month so you might wanna check further with a doctor ,not trying to scare you just might be best to ease your mind by checking with one .

It should be on the instructions, which I do not have anymore. Typically, two lines means pregnant. The 'T' stands for test, and the 'C' stands for control. You should always get a line above the C... if you do not, the test is invalid and you have to try again.

My meter worked fine for the GU and uric acid with the old style test strips which have the blood intake at the end of the strip. However, when I used it with the new style test strips with the blood intake on the side it seems to be reading low for the uric acid test. I have not tried the new GU strips. I have tried to get the control solutions to verify the meter but no one seems to sell them. You should not need the control solutions to get readings. You do need to put the correct chip in the chip slot for what ever test you are making. If you are not getting any readings you should probably return the meter. I am also concerned it may not work correctly with the new style strips. Sincerely, Frank Huling

the date when the test strips expire for use...they wouldn't give you an accurate reading once they're past their expire date.

Hello. I encourage you to buy the testing strips on Amazon. The expiration date on the recently purchase ones for myself is February of 2017.

My understanding is that the test line needs to be DARKER than the control line, hope this may help.

I have not gotten a positive yet but it should be 2 vertical lines if positive. One line in the test area if a negative. This product is just like the 2 line tests from walmart, walgreens, cvs etc. It is NOT a + positive test.

I use Bayer's 7080G and 7099C test strips. Never had a problem with those. I don't know if that helps you out. If you really want to make sure call Bayer, they well help. My Meter is a 7184A. Just buy 50, then you won't get burned, if they don't work.

All my tests worked great!! I would recommend them to everyone!! Even my friend liked them. Since they are just the strips, it's very possible for someone to get it wet in the wrong place, not lay it flat, look at the results too soon, not test correctly, etc. If you feel these tests aren't working, then go buy ones at the store. I was just trying to help. Regardless of your profession, everyone can make mistakes and not be aware of it.

When you cut the strip you get a positive and a negative tab for each side...so if you have a strip pre-cut, you have a positive and a negative tab on one end and another positive and negative on the other end.

I did not have any strips in my kit. I purchased them separately. BTW, I really like this tester. Easy to use, small sample and the reports it generate are excellent.

The data port auestion has been answered. Also one of the users doesn't like this meter. I LOVE it. There are not a lot of extras on it, but it always works, it is compact and light, and my insurance company does not have any trouble supplying the test strips. Check with whoever is going to supply the test strips (Medicare, or insurance) and see what they will do. I wish everything I owned worked this well.
