MEASUREMENT
CONVERSION. The

ONE TOUCH II Meter can
display units either in
mmol/L or mg/dL. To select
the unit measurement of
your choice, see Chapter 9,

Setting Date, Time, and
Other Special Functions for

instructions. All example
results in this Owner’s

Booklet appear in mmol/L.
Verify which unit of
measure you are using
before you begin testing.

TEST STRIP HOLDER. The
dark gray Test Strip Holder
holds the Test Strip in
place. The Meter reads the
color of the reacted Test
Strip through the small hole
in the Test Strip Holder. The
Test Strip Holder needs to
be removed from the Meter
for cleaning. (See the
instructions in Chapter 8,

Cleaning and Maintaining
the Meter.)

• 9 •

TEST AREA. When the Test
Strip Holder is removed, the
Test Area is exposed. The
Test Area has a clear,
protective coating over the
Meter optics that must be
kept clean and lint-free for
accurate results. Be careful
not to scratch or damage
this coating. (See Chapter 8,

Cleaning and Maintaining
the Meter.)

DATA PORT. This port lets
you access the information
stored in the Meter’s
memory with a Data
Manager

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
performing the test
procedure correctly. These
checks are simple but very
important quality control
steps that you must perform
routinely to make sure you
get accurate results.

• 11 •

CAUTION: If your
Control Solution or
Check Strip results fall
outside of their expected
ranges, the system is not
functioning properly.
DO NOT use the system
to test your blood
glucose until you get
both a Control Solution
and a Check Strip
reading that falls within
the expected ranges.

If either of these problems
occur, you should first
attempt to determine the
cause of the problem by
reviewing the instructions
in this Owner’s Booklet. If
you cannot resolve the
problem, contact the
LifeScan Technical Service
Department via the toll-free

CAUTION: You must
match the code number
on the Meter display to
the code number on
the Test Strip package
you’re using. If the code
number on the Meter
display does not match
the number on the Test
Strip package, you will

5. GETTING A DROP OF BLOOD

IMPORTANT: Getting a
good drop of blood is
one of the most
important steps in
getting an accurate
blood glucose result.

The PENLET®II Automatic
Blood Sampler is an easy,
safe way to get a good drop
of blood.

How to use the PENLET II:

Step 1: Insert a Lancet

1. Remove the PENLET II
cap by pulling it straight off.

2. Insert a sterile Lancet into
the Lancet Holder. The
Lancet will slide into the

• 21 •

Lancet Holder more easily
if you DO NOT line up the
ridges on the Lancet with
the slots in the Lancet
Holder. (Note: inserting the
Lancet may automatically

3. Remove the Lancet
Protective Disk by holding
the Lancet firmly and gently
twisting off the Disk.

®

4. Replace the PENLET

II

cap.

Note: The PENLET II
includes two caps so that
you may control the punc­ture depth. The cap which
comes attached to the
PENLET II has a single line

• 22 •

and works well for children
and most adults. The other
cap has a double line and
works well for people with
very thick or calloused skin,
or where a deeper puncture
is needed.

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 you lance your finger.

Step 2: Cock the PENLET®II

Holding the lower portion
of the body of the PENLET
II, pull out the dark gray
sliding barrel until a click is
heard. If you do not hear a
click, the PENLET II may
have been cocked when the
Lancet was inserted.

Step 3: Get a drop of blood

1. Wash your hands with
soap and warm water and
dry thoroughly. Warm water
stimulates the flow of blood
to the fingers, making it
easier to obtain a sample for
the test. Letting your arm
hang down at your side for

• 23 •

Choose a spot on the side of
a different finger each time
you take a blood sample.

Repeated punctures in the
same spot can make your
finger sore and calloused.

®

2. Hold the PENLET

II
firmly on the side of the
finger to be punctured, with
the cap resting on the finger.
(The greater the pressure of
the PENLET II against the
finger, the deeper the
puncture.)

3. Push the dark gray
Release Button.

• 24 •

4. Gently squeeze the finger
to obtain a large, hanging
drop of blood.

Proceed with the blood
glucose test. (Chapter 6,
Testing Your Blood.)

Step 4:
Remove the
Lancet

Always use
caution
when re­moving the
Lancet.

After the
blood glu­cose test,
remove the
PENLET

®

II cap. Grip the
dark gray T-shaped prongs.
Point the Lancet downward
and away from you. Pull
back on the dark gray

sliding barrel until the
Lancet drops out.

CAUTION:

✔

u

Dispose of the Lancet in
an appropriate container for
sharp objects.

✔

u

To reduce the chance of
infection, always use a new
sterile Lancet. Lancets are
intended for single use only.

✔

u

Never use a Lancet that
has been used by someone
else.

• 25 •

✔

u

If the PENLET II is being
shared with another person,
always use a new sterile
Lancet and a new or
properly disinfected
PENLET II cap for each
person.

Cleaning the PENLET II

Clean the PENLET II and
PENLET II cap with soap
and water as needed.

(For use in hospitals or
institutions with multiple
patients, consult your
institution’s infection
control procedure and the
