What clinical
information should a

aware of when using the

®
II Meter?

institutions, and clinics,
refer to the ONE TOUCH
®
II
Blood Glucose Monitoring
System Manual-Hospital
Programs.
The ONE TOUCH II Meter is
not
intended for monitoring
neonatal whole blood
samples.
ONE TOUCH
®
Test Strips
should not be used with
plasma or serum samples;
results will be inaccurate.
ONE TOUCH Test Strips
are intended for use with
fresh whole blood or
ONE TOUCH
®
Glucose
Control Solution.
Reducing substances, such
as ascorbic acid, do not
significantly affect blood
glucose results when
occurring in normal blood
concentrations. However,
abnormally high concentra-
tions of reducing substances
in blood will cause inac-
curately low blood glucose
results.
Samples with preservatives
that contain fluoride (gray-
top tubes) should not be
used. The results will be
inaccurately low.
Q.
Why should I test my
blood glucose (sugar)?
A.
No doubt your health-
care professional has
explained the importance of
keeping your diabetes under
control. Your ONE TOUCH
®
II System helps you check
whether or not you are
under control by monitoring
your blood glucose levels.
The test results provide a
good picture of how diet,
exercise, and medication are
affecting your diabetes.
