The following information will be useful to you and your healthcare professional when using the OneTouch

Profile®System to

monitor your blood glucose level.

If you experience symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose test results AND you believe you have followed all instructions described in the owner’s booklet, contact your healthcare professional immediately.

Never make significant changes to your medication program or ignore physical symptoms without consulting your healthcare professional.

If your test result is 60 mg/dL or lower, this indicates low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). The meter will display the test result along with the message

do you need a snack.

You should immediately treat hypoglycemia as recommended by your healthcare professional.

If the message

hi danger call.dr.

appears on the meter display, this indicates severe high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Contact your doctor immediately.

Extremes in hematocrit (the amount of red blood cells in the blood) can affect test results. Very high hematocrits

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

(above 60%) and very low hematocrits (below 25%) can cause false results.

Abnormally high levels of Vitamin C or other reducing substances will cause false low blood glucose results.

Normal levels of reducing substances have little effect on blood glucose results.

Do not use blood samples with preservatives that contain fluoride (gray-top test tubes). You will get false low results.

When testing, removal of the test strip prior to display of the blood glucose result may give you a false result.

Infection Control

Use universal blood precautions. All patient samples and materials with which they come in contact are considered biohazards and should be handled as if capable of transmitting infection. Follow proper precautions in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations when disposing of all materials.

PRECAUTIONS

The OneTouch®Profile®Complete Diabetes Tracking System consists of three main products: the OneTouch

Profile®Blood

Glucose Meter, OneTouch

Test

Strips, and OneTouch

Normal Control Solution. These products have been designed, tested, and proven to work together as a system to produce accurate blood glucose test results. Only LifeScan manufactures OneTouch

IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION

■

OneTouch®Test Strips can be damaged by heat and light. Keep them sealed in the original vial. Store the vial in a cool, dry place below 86˚F (30˚C). Do not refrigerate. Do not place in direct heat or sunlight.

■

OneTouch®Test Strips are intended for use with fresh whole blood or OneTouch

Normal Control Solution. Do not use them with plasma or serum samples. Results will not be accurate.

■

Do not use test strips beyond the expiration date on the vial.

■

When you open a new vial of test strips, record the discard date on the vial. The discard date for test strips is four months after first opening the vial. Discard unused test strips after this date.

■

■

Do not use bleach (or products containing bleach) near the test strips.

■

For reliable results, use only OneTouch®Test Strips made by LifeScan.

GETTING STARTED

OneTouch®Normal Control Solution

OneTouch®Normal Control Solution is an important part of the OneTouch

Profile®System.

Use it in two ways:

1) to practice the test procedure, and

2) to make sure that the OneTouch

Profile®Meter and OneTouch

Test Strips are working together properly.

(Example)

GETTING STARTED

Checking Meter’s Display

A display test is built into your meter. When you first begin to perform a blood or control solution test, the entire display will briefly turn on when you turn on your meter. Press and hold the “on/off” button down to extend the viewing period. You should carefully observe the display to make

sure all “segments” or parts of the display turn on each time you test your blood.

Display Test

Properly Functioning Display

Display with Missing Segments

Note: You do not have to enter the set-up mode to test. However, the OneTouch

Profile®Meter has a number of settings you can change, including the language, time and date, display formats, and the unit of measure. For a description of these options and how to set them, see page 27.

BEFORE TESTING

All segments are active, the display is working properly.

Some parts of the display are not working.

Message will be incomplete.

Test Result

Recognizable Result, but incorrect

Setting Meter Code

Code numbers are used to enable your meter to provide consistent measurements. For this reason, it is important that the code is set correctly. You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of OneTouch

Test Strips.

CAUTION: If the code number on the meter display does not match the code number on the vial of OneTouch

Test Strips, test results

may be false.

BEFORE TESTING

In this example, the 120 result is reallly 420,

as indicated by the missing segment shown in light blue.

CAUTION: If you believe your OneTouch

Profile®meter’s display has a problem, or if you need help determining if your display is operating properly, call LifeScan Customer Services at 1 800 227-8862.

Code the OneTouch®Profile®Meter in these three easy steps:

Step 1: Press the On/Off Button.

When turning the meter on, all display symbols will appear. The meter code will then appear on the display for a moment along with the current time and date, followed by the message

insert code 9 (Example) strip.

Step 2: Match the Code Numbers.

The code number on the test strip vial ranges from 1 to 16. If the code number on the meter display matches the code number on the test strip vial, you can begin testing. If the two code numbers do not match, follow Step 3 to code the meter.

BEFORE TESTING

(Example)

Step 3: Code the Meter.

While the meter is on and after the word

insert is

displayed, press and release the C button; the code number will appear. Continue pressing the C button until the number on the display matches the code number on the test strip vial. The code number is now set for the test strips you are using. The meter

will remember this code number until you change it. You are now ready to do a test.

Checking the System

There are two ways to make sure your OneTouch

Profile®System is working properly. The check strip is used to check that the meter is operating properly. OneTouch

Normal Control Solution 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 for accurate results.

BEFORE TESTING

Checking with the Check Strip

A purple and white check strip is included in the carrying case of your OneTouch

Profile® System. Before doing a check strip test, make sure the test strip holder, test area, and check strip are clean, dry, and lint-free. Do the check strip test at room temperature (between 64˚ and 79˚F [18–26˚C]).

Do a check strip test:

■

At least once each day you test your blood

■

After cleaning the meter

■

Whenever your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate

■

If you drop the meter

■

If you get the meter wet

■

Whenever the following message appears:

BEFORE TESTING

How to do a check strip test:

Step 1: Press the On/Off Button. Insert Side 1 of the Check Strip.

The code number will appear on the display. When

insert code 10

(Example) strip appears, slide the notched end of the check strip into the test strip holder with Side 1 (purple side) facing up.

wait please

appears for a moment.

Step 2: When apply sample Appears, Remove the Check Strip from the Test Strip Holder.

Note: Do not

apply control solution to the check strip.

Note: This is the only time you should remove a test strip

during

a test.

BEFORE TESTING

Step 3: When insert side 2

A strip Appears, Turn the Check

Strip Over and Slide It Back into the Test Strip Holder.

It should go in notched end first, Side 2 (white side) facing up. The meter counts down from four to zero and then gives you a check strip test result.

The display will show

Aokif your

result falls within the correct check strip range printed on the back of your meter.

BEFORE TESTING

(Example)

If these messages appear, repeat the check strip test. If these messages appear again, clean your meter and repeat the test. If you do not obtain an acceptable

Aokcheck strip reading,

redo A will appear each time you turn

on your meter, indicating that your last check strip test result was outside of the check strip range printed on the back of your meter. This message will continue to appear until you perform a check strip test that falls within the correct check strip range.

To clean and maintain the check strip:

■

Make sure both sides of the check strip are clean. If necessary, wipe the check strip with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water. Dry it completely.

CAUTION: If your check strip test result is out of range, your meter may not be working properly.

not

use the meter to test your blood until you get a check strip reading that is within the correct range printed on the back of the meter. For assistance, call LifeScan Customer Services at 1 800 227-8862.

BEFORE TESTING

(Example)

■

Do not get 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.

■

If you lose or damage the check strip, call LifeScan Customer Services at 1 800 227-8862 for a free replacement.

Checking with Control Solution

OneTouch®Normal Control Solution contains a known amount of

glucose

that reacts with OneTouch

Test Strips. Control solution should be used to practice the test procedure and to make sure your meter and test

strips are working together properly as a system.

Before you use the OneTouch

Profile

Meter to test your blood glucose for the first time, practice the procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood.

BEFORE TESTING

Do a control solution test:

■

For practice, before testing your blood with the OneTouch

Profile

Meter for the first time

■

When you begin using a new vial of test strips

■

At least once a week

■

Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly

■

When your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate

■

If you drop the meter

■

If you get the meter wet

The control solution test procedure is just like blood glucose testing, except that you use OneTouch

Normal

Control Solution instead of blood.

Control solution test tips

■

Shake the control solution vial thoroughly before using.

■

If there are any bubbles on the top of the vial, wipe them off with a clean tissue.

■

Apply a full drop of control solution to the center of the test spot and cover it completely.

Do not dab, wipe, or smear control solution on the test spot.

■

Avoid contaminating the control solution.

Do not touch the test

spot with the tip of the vial.

BEFORE TESTING

IMPORTANT CONTROL SOLUTION TEST INFORMATION

■

Use only OneTouch®Normal Control Solution.

■

Check the expiration date of the control solution. Do not use if expired.

■

Record the discard date on the control solution vial. The discard date for control solution is three months after first opening the vial. Discard the vial after this date.

■

The OneTouch®Normal Control Range printed on the test strip vial is for OneTouch

Normal Control Solution only. It is not a recommended

range for your blood glucose level.

■

Store the control solution at room temperature below 86˚F (30˚C). Do not refrigerate.

■

Control solution should not be used as a cleaning solution for the meter.

Warning

■

For external use only. Do not swallow or inject control solution or put control solution drops into your eyes.

BEFORE TESTING

How to do a control solution test:

Step 1: Press On/Off Button. Insert Test Strip.

The code number that appears on the meter display should match the code number on the test strip vial. When insert code 10 (Example) strip appears, slide a OneTouch®Test Strip into the test strip holder, notched

end first, with the test spot facing up. Make sure you push the test strip in all the way until it stops.

wait please appears for a moment, then apply sample

appears for five minutes or until you apply a drop of control solution to the test spot on the test strip.
