The ONE TOUCH®BASIC™Blood
Glucose Monitoring System is
intended for
This statement means that the
system should be used only for
testing purposes and only outside of
the human body. The ONE TOUCH
BASIC Meter and Test Strips are
used for monitoring whole blood
glucose for people who have been
diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

diagnosis of diabetes.
in vitro diagnostic use.
The ONE TOUCH BASIC Blood
Glucose Monitoring System measures the amount of glucose (sugar) in
whole blood. When blood is applied
to the Test Strip, compounds on the
Test Strip react with the blood and a
blue color is formed. The intensity
of the color is then measured and
read by the ONE TOUCH BASIC
Meter.

SYSTEM
There are two ways to make sure
®
your ONE TOUCH
is working properly. The Check
Strip is used to check that the
Meter is operating properly. The
ONE TOUCH
®
Control Solution— Blue Formula is
used to check that both the Meter
and the Test Strips are working
together as a system, and that you
are doing the test correctly. It is very
important that you do these simple
checks routinely to make sure you
get accurate results.

ONE TOUCH Normal Glucose
Control Solution—Blue Formula
ONE TOUCH®Normal Glucose
Control Solution—Blue Formula
should be used to make sure your
Meter and Test Strips are working
properly.
Before you use the Meter to test
your blood glucose for the first time,
practice the procedure using the
Control Solution in place of blood.
When you can do three tests in a
row that are within the ONE TOUCH
Normal Control range, you are ready
to test your blood.
17

■
Use only ONE TOUCH®Normal
Glucose Control Solution—Blue
Formula, available from your drug
store or Authorized LifeScan
Distributor.
■
Check the expiration date on the
Control Solution vial. If it has
expired, replace it with new
Control Solution.
■
Shake the Control Solution vial
vigorously before using.
To do a Control Solution test, follow
the same procedure you would if
you were testing your blood. (See
TESTING YOUR BLOOD, page 27.)
Your Control Solution results will
appear on the Meter display as

Normal Glucose Control Solution—
Blue Formula is printed on the Test
Strip vial or the foil wrapper. This
range is for the Glucose Control
Solution only; it is not intended as a
recommended range for your blood
glucose test results.
CAUTION: If your Control
Solution result falls outside the
printed range, the system is not
working properly. DO NOT use
the system to test your blood
until you get a reading that falls
within the printed range. For
assistance, call LifeScan
Technical Services.
You should use the Glucose Control
Solution:
■
At least once a week.
■
When you begin using a new
package of Test Strips.
■
Whenever you suspect the Meter
or Test Strip may not be working
properly (for example, when your
results are not consistent with how
you feel).

4. GETTING A DROP OF
BLOOD
The PENLET®II Automatic Blood
Sampler is an easy, safe tool for
obtaining a good drop of blood for
testing.
Using the PENLET II
Automatic Blood Sampler
Sliding Barrel
Release Button
Cap
Lancet Holder
Step 1: Insert a Lancet
Remove the PENLET II Cap by
pulling it straight off.
20
Page 26
Insert a new, sterile Lancet into the
Lancet Holder. The Lancet will slide
into the Lancet Holder easier if you
DO NOT line up the ridges on the
Lancet with the slots in the Lancet
Holder. (NOTE: Inserting the Lancet
may automatically cock the
®
PENLET
II.)
Hold the Lancet firmly and gently
twist off the Lancet Protective Disk.
21
Page 27
Regular
Deep Penetration
Replace the PENLET®II Cap. The PENLET II Sampler includes
two Caps. The Cap that comes
attached to the PENLET II Sampler
has a single line on the flat side and
works well for children and most
adults. The other Cap has two lines
on the flat side and works well for
very thick or calloused skin, or
when a deeper puncture is needed.
22
Page 28
Step 2: Cock the PENLET®II
Sampler
Holding the lower portion of the
PENLET II Sampler, pull out the
dark gray sliding barrel until it
clicks. If it does not click, the
PENLET II Sampler may have
been cocked when the Lancet
was inserted.
Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood
Wash your hands with soap and
warm water and dry them thoroughly. Warm water stimulates the
flow of blood to the fingers. Hanging
your arm down at your side for
10–15 seconds before the fingerstick
will make it easier, too. If you use
alcohol to clean your finger, make
sure you let it dry before sticking
your finger.
23
Page 29
Choose a spot on the side of a
different finger each time you test.
Repeated punctures in the same
spot can make your finger sore
and calloused.
®
Hold the PENLET
II Sampler firmly
against the side of the finger, with
the Cap resting on the finger. (The
harder you press, the deeper the
puncture.)
Press the dark gray Release Button.
24
Page 30
Squeeze the finger gently to obtain a
large, hanging drop of blood.
Proceed with the blood glucose test.
(See TESTING YOUR BLOOD, page
27.)
Step 4: Remove the Lancet
Always use caution
when removing
the Lancet and
®
PENLET
II Cap.
Remove the
PENLET II Cap.
Grasp the ridges on
the dark gray
prongs located on
the shaft near the
Release Button.
Point the Lancet down and away
from you. Pull back on the dark gray
sliding barrel until the Lancet drops
out.
25
Page 31
CAUTION:
■
Never use a Lancet that has
been used by someone else.
■
Dispose of the Lancet in a
container for sharp objects.
■
To help avoid infection, use a
new sterile Lancet every time
you test.
■

The Meter will beep when the blood
has been applied to the Test Spot.
Make sure that you:
■
Do not remove the Test Strip from
the Meter to apply blood.
■
Do not smear blood on the Test
Spot or apply a second drop after
the test begins.
■
Do not move the Test Strip when
you are applying blood. If the Test
Strip moves, push it back to its
original position.
■
Touch only the tip of the drop of
blood to the Test Spot.
■
Apply enough blood to form a
round, shiny drop that covers the
Test Spot completely and stays
wet during the entire test.

The Meter then counts down from
45 to 0 seconds, followed by a series
of beeps when your result is

Be sure to wait for the beeps before
you note your result. Your result
will continue to display until you
turn the Meter off, or for two minutes, after which the Meter automatically turns off.

6. AFTER TESTING
Although the ONE TOUCH®BASIC
System requires only a small drop of
blood, it is very important that the
drop be large enough to cover the
Test Spot completely.
In many cases, the Meter can detect
if the drop of blood was too small to
give an accurate reading. If

appears on the display, your drop of
blood was too small or smeared, or
the Test Strip was inserted only
partway into the Test Strip Holder.
Repeat the test with a new Test Strip
and enough blood to cover the entire
Test Spot.
35
Page 41
Checking the Amount of
Blood on the Test Strip
The Meter cannot always tell if a
sample is too small, so it is important that you also look at the Test
Strip to make sure that you applied
enough blood.
■
Remove the Test
Strip from the
Meter and look at
the Test Spot. It
should still have
a wet, shiny drop
Front Side
that completely covers the circle.
If the blood sample has a dull, dry
appearance, you may not have
applied enough blood, or you may
have smeared it.
■
Look at the back
of the Test Strip.
You should see a
full, dark circle.*
*The white portion on
the back of the Test
Strip may also appear as a small square,
due to different manufacturing processes.
This difference will not affect your blood
glucose results.

(Incorrect)
If there are any
white patches or
streaks, you may
have smeared the
blood or the drop
was too small. In
either case, you
may have an
inaccurately low
result. Repeat the
test with a new
Test Strip.
Recording Your Test Results
Your ONE TOUCH®BASIC™System
Kit comes with a Logbook that you
can use to keep a permanent record
of your test results, along with
information on diet and medication.
If you run out of space in your
Logbook, you can get a new one
from your Authorized LifeScan
Distributor, drug store, or directly
from LifeScan.

8. TAKING CARE OF THE
METER
Your ONE TOUCH®BASIC™Meter
is simple to use and easy to maintain. However, it must be handled
carefully and cleaned regularly to
remain in good operating condition.
You should follow these rules at all
times:
■
Keep the Test Strip Holder and
Test Area clean.
■
Do not drop or toss the Meter.
The Meter’s electronics could be
damaged by such treatment. If
you drop the Meter, make sure
the Test Strip Holder is still
securely in place and check the
Meter with the Check Strip before
doing a blood glucose test.
■
Avoid exposing the Meter or Test
Strips to extremes in temperature
or humidity for long periods of
time. For example, do not store
the Meter or Test Strips in your
car.
■
Never let your Meter get wet.
Meter could be permanently
damaged if water or other liquids
get inside.
52
Page 58
■
Do not take the Meter apart.
Sensitive parts could be damaged
and cause inaccurate results.
Taking the Meter apart will
invalidate the Meter warranty.
IMPORTANT: Infection Control Information
■
If you are sharing the ONE TOUCH®BASIC™Meter with another
person, always use a new or properly disinfected Test Strip Holder
for each person.
■
If you are sharing the PENLET®II Automatic Blood Sampler with
another person, always use a new sterile Lancet and a new or
properly disinfected PENLET II Cap for each person.
■
For disinfecting information, an additional Test Strip Holder, or a
PENLET II Cap, please call LifeScan Technical Services.

Battery Replacement
6-VOLT
The ONE TOUCH®BASIC™Meter
comes with a battery already
installed. When the battery must
be replaced, use only a Duracell
brand alkaline battery (J-size,
6 Volts, part #7K67), which is
commonly available in drug and
hardware stores. This will ensure
you get the best performance from
your ONE TOUCH BASIC Meter.
Duracell is a registered trademark of Duracell International Inc.

9. QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
In the following pages, we’ve
provided answers to some of the
most common questions people
have about home blood glucose
monitoring and the ONE TOUCH
BASIC™Meter. If you have a question
that isn’t covered here, consult your
Health Care Professional or call
LifeScan Technical Services.
Q. Why should I test my blood
glucose (sugar)?
A. No doubt your Health Care
Professional has explained the
importance of keeping your diabetes
®
under control. Your ONE TOUCH
BASIC System helps you check
whether or not you are in control by
monitoring your blood glucose levels.
The test results provide a good
picture of how diet, exercise, and
medication are affecting your
diabetes.
Test results can also indicate whether
your diabetes is changing in ways
that might require an adjustment in
your treatment program.
Always consult your Health Care
Professional before making changes
in your diabetes control plan.
63
Page 69
Q. How often should I test my
blood glucose?
A. This is best decided by you and
your Health Care Professional. It
may vary according to your age, the
type of diabetes you have, any
medication you are using, whether
you are ill, and any physical or
emotional changes in your life.
Q. Should my test results always
be the same?
A. No. Results will vary somewhat
from test to test, depending on diet,
activity level, and time of day. These
variations provide useful clues about
your condition and how well your
treatment program is working.
With your Health Care Professional,
determine your own personal target
blood glucose values, as well as
what an unusually high or low test
result is for you. In most cases, your
test results should stay within that
range.
Q. What can I do to be sure I get
accurate test results?
A. Make sure that you do the
following:
Keep your Meter clean at all times.
64
Page 70
Use enough blood. The entire Test
Spot must be completely covered
with blood. Touch the drop of blood
lightly to the middle of the Test Spot
to fill the entire Spot. The drop of
blood should form a round, shiny
circle over the entire Spot, and stay
wet during the entire test.
Do not smear the blood or touch the
Test Spot with your finger. Do not
add more blood after you’ve applied
the first drop.
Never use Test Strips beyond their
expiration date. Do not store Test
Strips outside of their packaging.
Make sure the Meter code number is
set to match the code number on the
package of Test Strips you are using.
Periodically review your use of the
Meter with your Health Care
Professional.
Q. What should I do if my blood
glucose test results are consistently high for my own diabetes
control plan?
A. The goal of diabetes management
is to maintain a “near normal”
amount of glucose in the blood.
Normal, low, and high blood glucose
values for your individual treatment
plan should be determined with
65
Page 71
your Health Care Professional. If
your blood glucose test results
remain consistently high, contact
your Health Care Professional.
Q. What are the expected blood
glucose values associated with
well-controlled diabetes?
A. Fasting: 60–130 mg/dL
After meals (1 hour): Less than
180 mg/dL
After meals (2 hours): Less than
150 mg/dL
1,2
Q. What do I do if test results still
seem too low or too high?
A. Remember, the test results you
obtain will vary from time to time
depending on food intake, insulin
dose, exercise, etc. Ask yourself the
following questions:
“How do I feel?”
“Do I have symptoms of low
blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia)?”
“What have I eaten?”
“How much exercise have
I had?”
“Am I ill (i.e., common cold,
flu, etc.)?”
66
Page 72
In addition to the common factors
listed above which cause real
variations in blood glucose results,
there are certain abnormal conditions which can interfere with the
accuracy of your blood glucose
monitoring results. These limitations
are described below and should be
discussed with your physician:
Extremes in hematocrit (the amount
of red blood cells in the blood) can
affect test results. High hematocrits
(above 60%) cause inaccurately low
results. Very low hematocrits (below
25%) can also cause inaccurately
low results.
Severe dehydration and excessive
water loss may cause inaccurately
low results. This has been reported
in the medical literature for leading
blood glucose monitoring products.
Severe dehydration can lead to many
serious medical complications. One
complication which is of particular
importance in diabetes management
is a “hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar”
state, with or without ketosis, which
may be life-threatening if left untreated. The following are some
of the factors which could lead
to severe dehydration:
67
3,4
Page 73
■
Vomiting and diarrhea
■
Prescription drugs, e.g., diuretics
■
Inability to recognize or respond
to “thirst” sensations
■
Sustained uncontrolled diabetes
Whenever inadequate fluid intake
or excessive water loss occurs,
CONSULT A PHYSICIAN
IMMEDIATELY.
Remember, if you ever experience
symptoms which are not consistent
with your blood glucose monitoring
results and you have eliminated
common procedural errors described
in this Owner’s Booklet as the cause,
you should contact a physician
immediately!
Never make significant changes to
your medication program or ignore
physical symptoms without
consulting a physician.
IMPORTANT: When the
message HIGH appears on the
Meter display, this indicates
severe hyperglycemia (blood
sugar too high); contact your
physician immediately.
68
Page 74
Q. Why don’t my Meter results
match the results that I got from
my doctor’s laboratory exactly?
A. Many Health Care Professionals
believe that the result that you get
with your Meter should fall within
15% to 20% of the result obtained
when whole blood is tested on
5
laboratory equipment.
However,
there are a number of reasons why
the blood glucose result from your
Meter may vary even more than 20%
6
from a laboratory result.
One of the
most common reasons is that
laboratories use serum or plasma
samples, while home blood glucose
monitors use whole blood. Whole
blood results are approximately
10%–12% lower than serum or
plasma values from the same blood
sample (at average hemocrit levels
41%– 45%). To adjust for this
difference, divide the laboratory
value by 112% or 1.12.
7
Example:
■
Let’s assume your lab (plasma)
result is 150 mg/dL.
■
150 divided by 1.12=134 mg/dL.
■
Compare your Meter result to
134 mg/dL.
69
Page 75
There is a difference in the glucose
levels of venous blood (usually
drawn from a vein in your arm)
and capillary blood (blood from a
fingerstick). After a meal, the glucose
levels in the capillaries may be
20–70 mg/dL higher than the levels
6
in venous blood.
If your lab test is
taken while you are in the fasting
state (before breakfast), this difference will be minimal (2–5 mg/dL).
7
Variation may also occur between
your Meter and the lab if the two
tests were not done within 10–15
minutes of each other. Blood glucose
values change rapidly, especially
after you have eaten, and the two
tests could have very different
results.
