Before you begin

Before using this product to test your blood glucose (BG), carefully read this Owner’s Booklet, and the inserts that come with the OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips and OneTouch® Verio™ Control Solution.

Intended use

The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood drawn from the fingertips, forearm or palm. Venous whole blood samples may be used by healthcare professionals. The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro System is intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or testing of newborns, and is specifically indicated for use on the finger, forearm or palm. The system is intended for single user use.

The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring System should not be used for:

• The diagnosis of diabetes.

• Testing newborns.

• Patients within 24 hours of receiving a D-xylose

absorption test as it may cause inaccurately high results.

Test principle

Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current, calculates your BG level, displays the result, and stores it in its memory.

tagging can cause the information displayed in high pattern messages to be inaccurate and/or misinterpreted.

Testing with a ﬁngertip sample

Preparing for a test

Have these things ready when you test:

OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Meter OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips Lancing device Sterile lancets

• Use only OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips.

• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step to

code your OneTouch® Verio™ Pro System is required.

• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the same

temperature before you test.

• For the most accurate results, test as close to room

temperature (20–25°C) as you can. See page 115 for more information.

Testing your blood glucose (BG)

• Tightly close the cap on the vial immediately after use to

avoid contamination and damage.

• Store unused test strips only in their original vial.

• Do Not open the test strip vial until you are ready to

remove a test strip and perform a test. Use the test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.

• Do Not test if there is condensation (water build-up) on your meter. Move your meter and test strips to a cool, dry spot and wait for the meter surface to dry before testing.

• Do Not return the used test strip to the vial after performing a test.

• Do Not re-use a test strip that had blood or control solution applied to it. Test strips are for single use only.

• When you first open a vial of test strips, record the

discard date on the label. Refer to the test strip insert or vial label for instructions on determining the discard date.
