3. CHECKING THE SYSTEM There are two ways to make sure your ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® System is working properly . The Check Strip is used to check that the Meter is operating properly .
Befor e doing a Check Strip test, make sure the T est Strip Holder , the T est Area and Check Strip are clean, dry , and lint-free. Do the Check Strip test at room temperature between 18°C and 26°C (64°F – 79°F). How to use the Check Strip Step 1: Press On/Off Button.
When insert strip appears, slide the notched end of the Check Strip into the T est Strip Holder with Side 1 (purple) facing up. wait appears for a few seconds.
Step 3: When insert side 2 appears, turn the Check Strip over and slide it back into the T est Strip Holder , notched end first, Side 2 (white) facing up. The Meter counts down from 4 to 0, then A 4 . 4 (example) A ok appears if the number falls within the acceptable Check Strip range.
If the reading is not within the printed range, the Meter displays will read A 2 . 1 (example) Anotok redo A Go back to Step 1 and repeat the Check Strip test. If this message appears again, clean your Meter and r epeat the test. For further assistance, call LifeScan T echnical Services.
Y ou must use the Check Strip: ■ At least once a day . ■ After cleaning the Meter . ■ Whenever your results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate.
■ If you lose or damage the Check Strip, call LifeScan T echnical Services for a free replacement. Checking with Contr ol Solution ONE TOUCH ® Normal Glucose Control Solution — Blue Formula should be used to make sure your Meter and T est Strips are working properly .
■ Use only ONE TOUCH ® Normal Glucose Control Solution — Blue Formula, available from your drug store or Authorized LifeScan Distributor . ■ Check the expiration date on the Control Solution vial. If it has expired, replace it with new Control Solution.
The range for the ONE TOUCH ® Normal Glucose Control Solution — Blue Formula is printed on the T est Strip vial or the foil wrapper . This range is for the Glucose Contr ol Solution only; it is not intended as a recommended range for your blood glucose test results.
4. GETTING A DROP OF BLOOD The PENLET ® II Automatic Blood Sampler is an easy , safe tool for obtaining a good drop of blood for testing. Using the PENLET II Automatic Blood Sampler Step 1: Insert a Lancet Remove the PENLET II Cap by pulling it straight off.
Inser t a new , sterile Lancet into the Lancet Holder . The Lancet will slide into the Lancet Holder easier if you DO NOT line up the ridges on the Lancet with the slots in the Lancet Holder . (NOTE: Inserting the Lancet may automatically cock the PENLET ® II.
Replace the PENLET ® II Cap. The PENLET II Sampler includes two Caps. The Cap that comes attached to the PENLET II Sampler has a single line on the flat side and works well for children and most adults. The other Cap has two lines on the flat side and works well for very thick or calloused skin, or when a deeper puncture is needed.
Step 2: Cock the PENLET ® II Sampler Holding the lower por tion of the PENLET II Sampler , pull out the dark gray sliding barrel until it clicks. If it does not click, the PENLET II Sampler may have been cocked when the Lancet was inserted. Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood W ash your hands with soap and warm water and dry them thoroughly .
Choose a spot on the side of a dif ferent finger each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot can make your finger sore and calloused. Hold the PENLET ® II Sampler firmly against the side of the finger , with the Cap resting on the finger .
Squeeze the finger gently to obtain a large, hanging drop of blood. Proceed with the blood glucose test. (See T esting Y our Blood, page 27.) Step 4: Remove the Lancet Always use caution when removing the Lancet and PENLET ® II Cap. Remove the PENLET II Cap.
Cleaning the PENLET II Sampler Clean the PENLET II Sampler and Cap with soap and water as needed. CAUTION: ■ Never use a Lancet that has been used by someone else. ■ Dispose of the Lancet in a container for sharp objects. ■ T o help avoid infection, use a new sterile Lancet every time you test.
5. TESTING YOUR BLOOD Y ou can test your blood glucose by following these three simple steps: NOTE: Be sure to read the following section carefully before testing. Step 3: Accurate results in 45 seconds. Step 2: Apply blood sample. Step 1: Press On/Off Button (last test result appears), insert T est Strip.
Step-by-Step Instructions Choose a clean, dry work surface. Make sure you have all the materials needed for a test: ■ ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® Meter ■ ONE TOUCH ® T est Strips ■ PENLET ® II Autom.

Step 1: Press On/ Off Button to turn the Meter on Y our last blood glucose or Contr ol Solution test result will appear for 3 seconds. memory or memory mm 5 .
Inser t T est Strip Remove a T est Strip from the package. DO NOT touch the white T est Spot. When using T est Strips from a vial, replace the cap imme- diately . When using a foil-wrapped T est Strip, be careful not to tear the T est Strip when opening the foil.
The T est Spot should be white or ivory-colored, with no tears or wrinkles. When insert strip appears, slide the notched end of the T est Strip into the Holder with the T est Spot side up. Make sure you push the T est Strip all the way into the Holder until it stops.
Step 2: Apply blood sample W ith the T est Strip in the Meter and apply sample on the display , apply a drop of blood to the T est Spot. The Meter will beep when the blood has been applied to the T est Spot. Make sure that you: ■ Do not remove the T est Strip from the Meter to apply blood.
Step 3: Accurate results in 45 seconds The Meter then counts down from 45 to 0 seconds, followed by a series of beeps when your result is displayed. mm 6 . 0 (example) IMPORT ANT : Always check that “MM” and a decimal point are displayed with your blood glucose result.
6. AFTER TESTING Although the ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® System requires only a small drop of blood, it is very important that the drop be large enough to cover the T est Spot completely . In many cases, the Meter can detect if the drop of blood was too small to give an accurate reading.
Checking the Amount of Blood on the T est Strip The Meter cannot always tell if a sample is too small, so it is impor- tant that you also look at the T est Strip to make sure that you applied enough blood. ■ Remove the T est Strip from the Meter and look at the T est Spot.
If there are any white patches or streaks, you may have smeared the blood or the drop was too small. In either case, you may have an inaccurately low result.
Displaying Last T est Result The ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® Meter automatically recalls and displays your last result — either from a blood glucose or Control Solution test — whenever the Meter is turned on.
7. HELP! (T roubleshooting) The display messages that appear on the Meter will guide you through the glucose test and quality control test procedures and alert you to problems as they occur . This section provides you with a complete listing of the display messages, what they mean, and what to do if there is a problem.

9. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS In the following pages, we’ve provided answers to some of the most common questions people have about home blood glucose monitoring and the ONE TOUCH ® BASIC ® Meter . If you have a question that isn’t covered here, consult your Health Care Professional or call LifeScan T echnical Services.
Q. How often should I test my blood glucose? A. This is best decided by you and your Health Care Professional. It may vary according to your age, the type of diabetes you have, any medication you are using, whether you are ill, and any physical or emotional changes in your life.
Keep your Meter clean at all times. Use enough blood. The entire T est Spot must be completely covered with blood. T ouch the drop of blood lightly to the middle of the T est Spot to fill the entire Spot. The drop of blood should form a round, shiny circle over the entire Spot, and stay wet during the entire test.
your Health Care Professional. If your blood glucose test results remain consistently high, contact your Health Care Professional. Q. What are the expected blood glucose values associated with well-controlled diabetes? A. Fasting: 3.3–7.2 mmol/L After meals (1 hour): Less than 10.
In addition to the common factors listed above which cause real variations in blood glucose results, there are certain abnormal condi- tions which can interfere with the accuracy of your blood glucose monitoring results.
■ V omiting and diarrhea ■ Prescription drugs, e.g., diuretics ■ Inability to recognize or respond to “thirst” sensations ■ Sustained uncontrolled diabetes Whenever inadequate fluid intake or excessive water loss occurs, CONSUL T A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIA TEL Y .
Q. Why don’t my Meter results match the results that I got from my doctor’ s laboratory exactly? A. Many Health Care Professionals believe that the result that you get with your Meter should fall within 15% to 20% of the result obtained when whole blood is tested on laboratory equipment.
Ther e is a difference in the glucose levels of venous blood (usually drawn from a vein in your ar m) and capillary blood (blood from a fingerstick). After a meal, the glucose levels in the capillaries may be 1.1–3.9 mmol/L higher than the levels in venous blood.
