Precautions and Limitations
Users should adhere to all instructions and consult healthcare professionals if results do not align with symptoms. The system should not be used for significant medication changes without professional advice. Extreme hematocrit levels and high Vitamin C can affect results. Proper infection control measures are necessary.

Getting Started
The system includes a meter, test strips, and control solution, all of which must be used together for accurate results. Substituting components may compromise accuracy.

Components
The OneTouch® Basic® Meter features an easy-to-read display, memory for storing results, and a data port for data transfer. Test strips should be stored properly and used before expiration.

Testing Your Blood
Detailed procedures for obtaining a blood sample and testing are provided, including instructions for checking the system with control solutions and interpreting results.

Comparing Results
Guidance is provided for comparing meter results with laboratory results to ensure accuracy.

Using the Meter Memory
The meter can store and recall test results, accessible through the memory mode.

Setting Meter Options
Users can customize settings such as time, date, and language. Instructions for entering and exiting setup mode are provided.

Solving Problems
Troubleshooting for test procedure messages and error messages is included.

Maintenance
Instructions for daily checks, cleaning, and battery replacement are included to ensure proper meter function.

Specifications and Warranty
The system offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a three-year warranty. Users are encouraged to register their product for additional benefits.

Setting Meter Code
The meter must be coded correctly to ensure accurate measurements. This involves matching the code number on the meter display with the code number on the test strip vial.

Checking the System
The system can be checked using a check strip and a control solution. These checks should be done routinely, especially if the meter is dropped, wet, or if results seem inaccurate.

Check Strip Test
This test should be performed daily, after cleaning the meter, or if the meter is dropped or wet.

Control Solution Test
This test uses a known glucose solution to ensure the meter and test strips are working correctly.

Testing Procedure
Insert the test strip, apply a blood sample, and wait 45 seconds for results. Ensure the blood drop is sufficient and not smeared.

Interpreting Results
Results below 60 mg/dL indicate hypoglycemia, while results above 600 mg/dL indicate severe hyperglycemia. Consult a doctor immediately in these cases.

Memory and Data Management
The meter automatically stores test results. Access memory mode to review past results.

Special Messages and Alerts
The meter provides alerts for low and high blood glucose levels and insufficient blood samples.

Time and Date Settings
The meter allows users to set the time and date format. Changes are saved automatically.

Unit of Measure
The default unit of measure is mg/dL, but it can be changed to mmol/L in the set-up mode.

Taking Care of Your Meter
Keep the meter dry, avoid extreme temperatures, and clean regularly using only water or mild detergent.

Replacing the Batteries
The meter uses two AAA alkaline batteries, which last about 18 months with regular use.

Battery Replacement Procedure
To replace the batteries, ensure the device is turned off, open the battery compartment, and insert new batteries correctly.

Specifications
The meter displays results from 0 to 600 mg/dL and uses whole blood samples. It operates within temperatures of 59–95°F and humidity up to 90%.

Guarantee and Warranty
The product offers a 30-day money-back guarantee and a three-year warranty against defects, excluding battery issues.

DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 3 When testing, removal of the test strip prior to display of the blood glucose result may give you a false result. Extremes in hematocrit (the amount of red blood cells in the blood) can affect test results. Very high hematocrits (above 55%) and very low hematocrits (below 30%) can cause false results.1 Infection Control 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.
