Coaguchek XS strips VERY recently expired - can anyone use them?

Hi all,

My mom passed away on 2/14/18 and she went off coumadin a few months before that (with her doctor's approval). I had a bunch of strips that I sent over to pellicle for his testing and just found some more as I was going through some things.

Both containers have the chips for the machine. One container has 10 strips (of 24) in it but expired 5/31/18. Another container has 6 of 6 strips in it and expires 6/30/18

Are the ones that expired a few weeks ago useable? Can anyone use these? I'm happy to ship but I figure somewhere pretty close by might be best given the dates.

Thanks!

I have plenty right now. The strips can be used, but the date on the machine will need to be adjusted so it doesn't realize the strips are expired.

Good to know they'd still be ok. I still have them if anyone can use them.
