1. GETTING STARTED
Description and Use
The ONE TOUCH®BASIC®Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for
in vitro diagnostic use. 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. This device is not to be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.
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.

3. CHECKING THE 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
Normal Glucose 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.

Checking with the Check Strip

(example)
Go back to Step 1 and repeat the Check Strip test. If this message appears again, clean your Meter and repeat the test. For further assistance, call LifeScan Technical Services.
If you do not obtain an acceptable Check Strip reading, your last blood
will appear, indicating your Check Strip was out of range at the last reading.
This message will appear each time the Meter is turned on until you obtain a Check Strip reading that falls in the printed range.
15
CAUTION: If your Check Strip
result falls outside the printed range, the Meter is not working properly. DO NOT use the Meter to test your blood until you get a Check Strip reading that is within the printed range. For assistance, call LifeScan Technical Services.
You must use the Check Strip:
At least once a day.
After cleaning the Meter.
Whenever your results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate.
Whenever this message appears:

Cleaning and Maintaining the Check Strip
Make sure both sides of the Check Strip are clean. If not, wipe with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water. Dry completely.
Do not put blood, alcohol, Control Solution, or any other fluid (except water) on the Check Strip.
Do not scratch the Check Strip.
Do not leave the Check Strip in sunlight for long periods of time.

If you lose or damage the Check Strip, call LifeScan Technical Services for a free replacement.
Checking with Control Solution
R
Solution - Blue Formula
Normal Glucose Control
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 follows:

The range for the ONE TOUCH
®
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).
