blood. Touch the drop of
blood lightly to the middle
of the Test Spot to fill the
entire spot. The drop of
blood should have a shiny
surface over the entire spot.
Do not smear the blood or
touch the Test Spot with
your finger.
Do not use expired Test
Strips.
Never use Test Strips
after the expiration date on
the package label has
passed.
Make sure your Meter code
is set to match the code
number on the package of
Test Strips you are using.
Do not use ONE TOUCH
®
Test Strips that are
discolored.
Periodically review your
use of the Meter with your
healthcare professional.
Q.
How can I verify that
my test results are
accurate?
A.
There are two very
important checks that you
should perform routinely to
verify that your test results
are accurate. You should
use the Check Strip every
day to verify correct Meter
operation. ONE TOUCH
®
Normal Glucose Control
Solution—Blue Formula
should be used at least once
a week or more often as
needed, to verify that the
entire system (Meter and
Test Strips) is working
properly, and that you are
performing the test
correctly.
Instructions for performing
both of these checks are
provided in Chapter 3,
Checking the System.
DO
NOT use the system if
either the Check Strip or
the Control Solution results
are outside of the expected
ranges.
