Why is the vial hard to open?
There are many considerations taken into account when determining the opening force for a test strip vial:
› Humidity entering the vial—this would affect shelf life
› Vials opening during manufacturing
› Vials opening during shipping
There are trade-offs to making a vial take less force to open:
› More humidity entering the vial
› More scrap in manufacturing
› More vials open during shipping (which could result in scrapped or returned product)
› Errors when testing
