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

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.

Control solution did not affect the test. What exact is not working, where is the problem?

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.

The instructions should be on the backs of each packet. It says "dip strip into urine. Take out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat. Read results in 5 minutes." Don't dip strip past the max line and test line should be about the same darkness or darker as the control line to be counted as positive. These strips are working just fine for me and will order again. I'm wondering which ones you got if they aren't individually wrapped with instructions.

I had the same problem (question). The label on the hour meter says that the connections are polarity sensitive but when using to monitor AC usage, there is no polarity. I communicated with the vendors customer rep., and was told that they had engineered the counter to be able to be used in a AC or DC application, but to save money with parts that had already been labeled, they continued to ship the new design with the old labels. They told me to use the meter (counter) without regard to the plus and minus lables. I tried it and it works.

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.

Yes, two different units and use different strips. The Next is the more recent unit. I've used both and they work well. I think the Next may use a slightly smaller sample.

Hi,I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

These are not test strips. These are lancets. Sorry for the delayed response to your question.

Until the manufacturer (or company retailing these strips) gives clear and specific instructions on how to read the results on these strips your guess will be as good as anyone else's. The many answers that have already addressed how to read the strips are simply full of other people's opinions of how to do it. I maintain that until the manufacturer or supplier actually issues clear instructions it will remain a guessing game where anyone's answer may be right.

Yes you have to recode the strips to whatever number is on the bottle you get. I recoded mine and they were way off so I returned them. Hope you have better luck.

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.

I don't understand the question. I have no test strips available except for my own personal use.

Yes, however my experience of these strips was that they read about 20 points lower so could not use them.?? bad batches sometimes as other times they were OK. Read similiar complaints about them too.

It's a chip that comes with each box of test strips. You just put in the new chip...turn the machine back on and you are ready to test! Just be sure when you put in the first test strip...that the number that's on the new box is also on his machine...that's it! Good luck!

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).

Im the last person to answer this one. Both boxes i purchased tested on distilled water, tap water and my spit the same reading. i never could get the strips to change from the same reading. I do know under normal testing (other strips i did notice a change when water was tested).
