false results.  
Infection Control  
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.  
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.

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

IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION  
ONE TOUCH 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 30°C  
(86°F). Do not refrigerate. Do not place in direct heat or sunlight.  
ONE TOUCH Test Strips are intended for use with fresh whole blood or  
ONE TOUCH 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.  
Do not use test strips that are bent, torn, cut, or changed in any way.  
Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial; replace the  
vial cap and close it tightly.  
Never transfer test strips to a new vial or any other container. Always carry  
test strips in their original container. Do not carry loose test strips in your  
meter case.  
Do not use bleach (or products containing bleach) near the test strips.  
For reliable results, use only ONE TOUCH Test Strips made by LifeScan.  
*For detailed information on ONE TOUCH Test Strips, refer to the ONE TOUCH Test Strip insert.

BEFORE TESTING  
Setting Meter Code  
CAUTION: If the code number on  
the meter display does not match  
the code number on the vial of  
ONE TOUCH Test Strips, test  
results may be false.  
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

is for ONE TOUCH Normal Control Solution only. It is not a recom-  
mended range for your blood glucose level.  
Store the control solution at room temperature below 30°C (86°F).  
Do not refrigerate.  
Control solution should not be used as a cleaning solution for  
the meter.

get results below 60 mg/dL

If you have symptoms and

In many cases, the meter can detect  
if the drop of blood was too small to  
give an accurate reading. However,  
it is important that you also look at

meter will no longer give results and  
you must replace the batteries before  
you can perform another test.  
The meters current time and date  
settings are saved for a minimum of  
30 minutes after the batteries have  
been removed. After that you may  
need to reset the time and date.  
Dead batteries and/or battery  
removal will not erase or change test  
results, default settings, or codes  
stored in the meter.  
The batteries should last about 18

appears on the meter display, the  
batteries are getting low.  
You will still be able to test with low  
batteries, but you should replace  
them as soon as possible.
