Getting Technical Support
Technical support is available from LifeScan for registered users of OneTouch® DMS. Contact
your local LifeScan office for the Technical Support telephone number in your area. See

Features that were added:
®
■ Up to five fax numbers may be stored in OneTouch
reports.
■ Out-of-target results on black and white printed reports are now easier to read

■ The ability to transfer and display data from new devices, including non-OneTouch
branded meter devices (once communication has been established with the new
device).
■ The option to display glucose results in certain Data List Reports in the order that tests
were taken, rather than by the meter calendar date that was automatically saved with
each result.
■ All records in the Before-Breakfast through Night meal slot series will be displayed with
the date of the Before-Breakfast start time, including any records that may occur after
midnight.
Features that were eliminated:

OneTouch® DMS Button Behavior
The following Command buttons appear on several OneTouch® DMS screens. Their actions

the button is in black font. A button is disabled (not active) if the label on the button is in
gray font.
When you click on this:You can do this:
®
Add a new patient name and profile to OneTouch
database. After clicking on Add New Patient, you will go
to the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen to begin
entering information. If you just created a new database,
only the Guest patient record exists. Before you can
transfer readings from a meter to a patient other than

the Add New Record button. This will activate the other
Tab selections on the Manual Entry-A screen.

Using the schedule to assign meter readings to time slots:
When readings are transferred from the meter to
OneTouch
®
DMS, they are tagged with a time stamp
Sep-08-0510:00AM
and are automatically assigned time slots. If you decide
to modify meal slot times, you will impact only those
readings that have not yet been transferred. Readings
already in OneTouch
®
DMS will maintain their existing
104
mg/dL
meal slot designation. For this reason, it is important to
note if schedule times are appropriate before you transfer
readings. It is also important to synchronize your meter
clock with that of the PC (assuming the PC clock is correct), to ensure that future readings
are slotted correctly. OneTouch
®
DMS will notify you if your PC and meter clocks are out of
sync by more than 15 minutes.
Using comments/events to assign meter readings to time slots:
®
Depending on meter type, some OneTouch
Meters allow you
to tag a reading with a meal slot comment. Such readings will
be assigned to the same meal slot by the OneTouch
®
DMS
application, even if they are taken at a time outside the meal
slot range. For example, a reading with a “Before- Breakfast”
comment/event would be assigned to the Before-Breakfast
time slot even if it were taken outside that time slot. This feature
applies only to the OneTouch
Profile
®
Meters. For all other OneTouch® Meters, readings are
®
UltraSmart® and OneTouch®
assigned to time slots using the actual time of the reading.

Displaying Results as Plasma Values or Whole Blood Values
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PLASMA AND WHOLE BLOOD READINGS:
All LifeScan meters require a sample of whole blood from your finger or arm to give
you a blood glucose reading. But there is a difference in how certain OneTouch
®
Meters measure the amount of glucose in the blood.
A few LifeScan meters measure glucose based on the entire whole blood sample.
Others measure glucose based on only the plasma portion of the whole blood sample.
Plasma is the liquid portion of the whole blood sample after the red blood cells are
removed. Most clinical laboratories measure plasma glucose. There is a difference in
the glucose concentration in whole blood and plasma. A glucose reading from a
plasma sample is about 12% higher than a reading from a whole blood sample.
So if you are using a LifeScan meter that measures plasma glucose, readings will be
about 12% higher than those taken from a LifeScan meter that measures glucose
from the entire whole blood portion.
It's important to remember this difference when comparing glucose readings from
OneTouch
®
Meters with measurements taken at the lab. Several OneTouch® Meters
automatically convert readings to plasma values. Others may not, depending on the
country or locale where the meter was purchased. See the table below for more
information on each OneTouch
®
Meter.
CAUTION: Due to the difference in glucose readings related to plasma or whole blood
reporting, it is important to use the right test strips with OneTouch
because test strips are designed to work hand in hand with the way OneTouch
®
Meters. That's
®
Meters
measure glucose in the blood. For this reason, you should only use test strips purchased
in the same country or locale where you purchased your meter. This will ensure that you
are using the right test strips. As a result, your glucose readings will be as consistent and
accurate as possible. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the test strips.
Note: When communicating with devices other than OneTouch
®
Meters, the Software
assumes that these devices are plasma calibrated unless otherwise specified.

Notes:
■ Default before-meal and after-meal target ranges are provided for Type 1 and Type 2
diabetes. There are no default target ranges for Gestational diabetes or the three
Custom diabetes types.
■ As you set or change target ranges for each Diabetes Type, you are impacting the
targets that are applied to all patients with that Diabetes Type who use Diabetes Type
targets. This means you are setting the target ranges for viewing and printing Reports
for each individual patient. It also means you are affecting the target ranges that are
applied in the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen.
■ Targets will shift if you switch between Plasma and Whole Blood.

Depending on locale one of the following default hypoglycemic
threshold settings is provided:
■ 67 mg/dL (3.7 mmol/L) when using plasma values, and 60mg/dL
(3.3 mmol/L) when using whole blood values
or
■ 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) when using plasma values, and
63 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L) when using whole blood values.
To change the Hypoglycemic threshold, enter the desired threshold
value in the field. The Hypoglycemic threshold must be from:
■ 50 to 90 mg/dL (2.8 to 5 mmol/L) when using plasma values
or
■ 45 to 80 mg/dL (2.5 to 4.4 mmol/L) when using whole blood
values.
Notes:
■ The Hypoglycemic threshold will change whenever you shift
between Whole Blood and Plasma display options. You may
switch display options in the General Tab of the Preferences
screen. OneTouch

Download Meter Readings
Glucose readings transferred from the meter are saved in the database. Any Date and Time
tags and any Comments or Event Markers associated with a reading are also transferred.
Event Markers impact how glucose readings are organized and displayed in Program Reports.
Once readings have been transferred, you may clear the readings from the meter memory.
Before you can transfer readings or clear readings from the meter memory, you must first
establish communication between your PC and the meter. Communication steps are covered
below. Please note the following as you establish communications between the meter and
your PC:

■ You may click on the Cancel button at any time to stop the process.
■ If the meter Clock time differs from the PC Clock time by more than 15 minutes, a
message box will appear. It will instruct you to make sure the PC and meter Clock
times are the same and accurate.
Caution: If you will be transferring readings from more than 1 meter (for example, one
meter at home and one at work), make sure all meter clock times match the PC clock
time. This will help ensure that your results can be compared to one another and are
accurate.

The rules for assigning meter readings to the database are as follows:
■ You may transfer readings from a particular meter to the same patient as the previous
transfer, a new patient, or a Guest patient.
■ If you want to transfer readings from a meter to a different patient than before, you
must have selected Require name confirmation to get the meter readings in the
General Tab of the Preferences screen. You will be prompted to select a new patient
name. Scroll through the names in the Patient field and select the desired one. If you
do not see the patient name you are looking for, you may click on the Add New Patient link to create a new name.
■ A Guest patient is a permanent entry in the OneTouch
®
DMS database. It serves as a
generic patient name. For example, you can transfer meter readings to the Guest
patient name for anyone for whom you want to generate a report but for whom you
don't care if their records are saved in the database. Previous Guest entries are deleted
from the database every time you start up the Software and each time you transfer
new readings to the Guest patient.
■ You may stop the transfer process by clicking on the Cancel button.
Notes:
■ If you are a new OneTouch
®
DMS user with a blank (empty) database, only the Guest
patient name exists in the database. This means you will have to click on the Add New Patient button to create a new patient name for the meter transfer.
■ If meter readings are not successfully transferred, an on screen message box will
prompt you to check the meter/cable connections. For other meter communications
problems, see Appendix C: Troubleshooting.

After readings are transferred from a device and saved to a patient file, OneTouch® DMS will
display the following information:
1. Total number of results transferred
2. Number of duplicate results
3. Number of unsuitable results. A result is reported as unsuitable when the record
transferred from the device is invalid. Some examples of unsuitable results include:
■ The record is missing date or time information.
■ The record date is invalid (e.g. the 13th month in the year).
4. Number unsupported results. Unsupported results are valid result types that are either
®
not currently shown in OneTouch
DMS reports or include more information than
expected. Some examples of unsupported results are:
■ A new type of record, e.g. measuring lung capacity.
■ A temperature value that is tagged to a glucose meter reading.

DMS assumes that a meter is associated with only one patient at
a time. So when a transfer takes place, all readings are assumed to belong to that one
patient. If you plan to have more than one patient use the same meter, make sure to clear
the meter readings between transfers. This will ensure that data for different patients are
not intermingled. Refer to the Clear Meter Readings section for information about clearing
meter readings.

Colors and Shading in Reports
Several Reports use color, shading and typefaces to display data or to differentiate data when
viewing or printing Reports.
Viewing Reports:
■ The following reports use separate cell colors and bold type to highlight individual
readings that are outside the target ranges: Pie Chart, Logbook Report, Data List
Report, Summary Report, and the Day View screens.
■ Different cell colors are used for above target readings, below target readings, and
hypoglycemic readings. A legend that explains the meaning of the colors will appear
on every Report that has out-of-target readings.
■ Insulin doses that were transferred from a meter are highlighted in regular type. Doses
that were taken according to a OneTouch
®
DMS Regimen will appear in bold type.
■ Several Report graphs also show the Overall (Target) Range as a shaded gray band.
Printing Reports:
■ Reports may be printed in color or black and white.
•Color printing: Identical color schemes are used for viewing and printing
reports.
• Black and white printing: In the Logbook Report, the Data List Report,
the Summary Report, and Day View screens, out-of-target readings are
highlighted as bold italics. The Pie Chart Report uses fill patterns to differentiate
out-of-target and within-target breakdowns. A legend that explains the meaning
of the different fill patterns will appear on every Report that has out-of-target
readings.
■ The default setting for printing is color. To change this setting, deselect color print
from the File, Print Options menu.

Glucose Trend Report
The Glucose Trend Report displays daily glucose readings for a selected Date Range (see
Figure 3.6). This Report helps you easily track changes in glucose readings from day to day.
■ Glucose readings are displayed as dots on an X-Y graph. Each reading is connected to
the next with a dashed line.
Note: The dashed line that connects blood sugar readings in this graph does not
reflect actual glucose levels. Blood sugars can go high or low throughout the day
especially around mealtimes, medication or exercise. Actual testing before and after
these events is required to get a better picture of how they affect your sugar levels.
■ Readings will appear in chronological order from oldest to most recent. The X-axis
represents the date and time of the reading and the Y-axis represents the actual
glucose level. All glucose readings for a particular day are displayed. When printing the
Glucose Trend Report, readings are displayed as dots and are connected by solid lines.
■ The shaded gray area on the graph represents the Overall (Target) Range. Any readings
that fall above or below the shaded gray area are considered outside of this range.
When printing the Glucose Trend Report, the Overall (Target) Range limits will appear
as horizontal dashed lines.
■ You may point to any dot to display the value, Date, Time, Slot and Comments tagged
to that result.

Pie Chart Report
The Pie Chart Report displays the percentage of glucose readings that fall above, below and
within each Before-Meal and After-Meal target range. This Report helps you easily see how
glucose readings compare with target ranges for each Meal Slot (see
Figure 3.7).
■ A total of eight pie charts will appear in the Report. These represent the Before-Meal
and After-Meal breakdowns for each Meal Slot , one for Night and one for Overall
Target Range.
■ Pie charts for each Before-Meal and After-Meal pairing will appear side by side. This
helps you scan for trends within a particular Meal Slot.
■ Chart pairings are also stacked vertically so you can compare Before-Meal percentages
and After-Meal percentages across all Meal Slots.
■ The Pie Chart Report uses applicable Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges to
display an Overall Total range. The Overall Total pie chart provides the percentage
breakdowns using all glucose readings within and outside the Overall (Target) Range.
