Never make significant changes to your medication program or ignore physical symptoms without consulting your healthcare professional. PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS The following information will be useful to you and your healthcare professional when using the ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus System to monitor your blood glucose level. If your test result is 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or lower, this indicates low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). The meter will display the test result along with the message danger call.dr.
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 60%) and very low hematocrits (below 25%) can cause false results.1 Infection Control Abnormally high levels of Vitamin C or other reducing substances will cause false low blood glucose results.
GETTING STARTED Your ONE TOUCH BASIC Plus System includes everything you need to start testing: The ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Diabetes Monitoring System consists of three main products: the ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Blood Glucose Meter, ONE TOUCH™ Test Strips, and ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Solution. These products have been designed, tested, and proven to work together as a system to produce accurate blood glucose test results. Only LifeScan manufactures ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus System products.
ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Meter has a number of settings you can change, including the language, time and date, display formats, and the unit of measure. For a description of these options and how to set them, see pages 37-45.

ONE TOUCH™ Test Strips NOTE: Your test strip may look like THIS The ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Diabetes Monitoring System measures the amount of blood glucose in whole blood. When blood is applied to a ONE TOUCH Test Strip, certain compounds on the test strip react with the blood to form a blue color. The ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Meter reads the color to determine the blood glucose level.
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.
BEFORE TESTING 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. Setting Meter Code 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 to another vial of ONE TOUCH™ Test Strips.
Step 1: Press the On/Off Button. Step 2: Match the Code Numbers. When turning meter on, all display symbols will appear. The last test result will then appear on the display for a moment. (If using the meter for the first time, the message code-- will appear on the display.) If you have already coded the meter, your current test strip code followed by the message check code will momentarily appear on the display. The following will then appear: The code number on the test strip vial ranges from 1 to 16.
Step 3: Code the Meter. Checking the System While the meter displays code--, or after the word insert is displayed, press and release the C button; the code number will appear. Continue pressing the C button until the number on the display matches the code number on the test strip vial. The code number is now set for the test strips you are using. The meter will remember this code number until you change it. You are now ready to do a test.
Checking with the Check Strip Do a check strip test: A purple and white check strip is included in the carrying case of your ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus System. Before doing a check strip test, make sure the test strip holder, test area, and check strip are clean, dry, and lint-free.

How to do a check strip test: Step 1: Press the On/Off Button. Insert Side 1 of the Check Strip. Note: This is the only time you should remove a strip during a test. When insert code 10 (Example) strip appears, slide the notched end of the check strip into the test strip holder with Side 1 (purple side) facing up. wait appears for a moment. M Note: Do not apply control solution to the check strip.
CAUTION: If your check strip test result is out of range, your meter may not be working properly. Do not use the meter to test your blood until you get a check strip reading that is within the correct range printed on the back of the meter. For assistance, call your authorized LifeScan representative. (Example) If these messages appear, repeat the check strip test. If these messages appear again, clean your meter and repeat the test.
■ ■ ■ Before you use the ONE TOUCH™ BASIC™ Plus Meter to test your blood glucose for the first time, practice the procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood. Do not scratch the check strip. Do not leave the check strip in sunlight. If you lose or damage the check strip, call your authorized LifeScan representative.
Do a control solution test: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ The control solution test procedure is just like blood glucose testing, except that you use ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Solution instead of blood.
IMPORTANT CONTROL SOLUTION TEST INFORMATION ■ Use only ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Solution. ■ Check the expiration date of the control solution. Do not use if expired. ■ Record the discard date on the control solution vial. Discard the vial three months after first opening. ■ The ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Range printed on the test strip vial is for ONE TOUCH Normal Control Solution only. It is not a recommended range for your blood glucose level.
with the test spot facing up. Make sure you push the test strip in all the way until it stops. w a i t appears for a moment, then apply sample appears for five minutes or until you apply a drop of control solution to the test spot on the test strip. How to do a control solution test: Step 1: Press On/Off Button. Insert Test Strip. M The code number that appears on the meter display should match the code number on the test strip vial.
Step 3: Control Solution Result Appears in 45 Seconds. Compare the control solution test result with the ONE TOUCH™ Normal Control Range printed on the test strip vial. When you get a control solution test result within the control range, you are (Example) ready to test your blood. Step 2: Apply Control Solution. Shake the control solution vial well before using. If there are any bubbles on the top of the vial, wipe them off with a clean tissue.
Control solution test results are automatically stored with the word contrl. (If you use a logbook, indicate control solution tests by writing “C” after the result.) ■ Control solution results If test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, repeat the test.
Detailed Test Procedure Choose a clean, dry work surface.
Step 1: Insert a Lancet into the Penlet ™ Plus Adjustable Blood Sampler. Getting a Drop of Blood CAUTION: To reduce the chance of infection: ■ Never share a lancet with another person. ■ Always use a new, sterile LifeScan Lancet. Lancets are for single use only. ■ The Penlet™ Plus Sampler should be used by only one person. ■ Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the Penlet Plus Sampler. Remove the Penlet™ Plus Cap by twisting it counterclockwise.
While the lancet is in the Penlet™ Plus Sampler, twist off the protective disk. Make two full turns to ensure that the lancet separates from the protective disk. Adjust the puncture depth setting if necessary. Twist the knob counterclockwise toward the smaller bumps for a shallower puncture. Twist the knob clockwise toward the larger bumps for a deeper puncture. Replace the Penlet™ Plus Cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it is snug but not overly tight.
Step 2: Cock the Penlet ™ Plus Sampler. Step 3: Wash Your Hands. Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry hands thoroughly. To increase blood flow to your fingertips, massage the hand from the wrist to the fingertip two or three times without touching the puncture site. Slide the ejection/cocking control backward until it clicks. If it does not click, the Penlet Plus Sampler may have been cocked when the lancet was inserted.
Step 4: Lance Your Finger. Gently massage your finger to obtain the required blood volume. Proceed with your blood glucose test. Choose a spot on the side of a different finger each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. Hold the Penlet™ Plus Sampler firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button. (Greater pressure of the device against the finger will also cause a deeper puncture.) Step 5: Remove the Lancet. Remove the cap.
Always use caution when removing the lancet. Point the lancet down and away from you. Push forward on the ejection/cocking control and eject the lancet directly into a container for sharp objects. Optional: To replace the protective disk on the lancet, place the disk on a hard surface and push the exposed tip into the protective disk. Return the ejection/cocking control to the middle position. Replace the cap.
How to Test Your Blood Step 1: Press On/Off Button. Make Sure Code Number Displayed on Meter Matches Code Number on Test Strip Vial. Insert Test Strip. check code and then Make sure the test strip holder is properly in place. (See page 63.) Turn your meter on. All display symbols will appear.

Test Remove a test strip Spot from the vial. Replace the vial cap immediately. Do not touch the test spot on the test strip. The test spot should be white or ivory-colored, with no tears or wrinkles. slide the test strip into the test strip holder, notched end first, test spot facing up. Make sure you push the test strip in all the way until it stops. With the meter display showing appears for a moment. Then M C appears for five minutes or until you apply blood to the test spot.
Step 2: Apply Blood Sample. ■ Do not smear blood on the test spot or apply a second drop after the test begins. ■ Do not move the test strip as you are applying blood. If the test strip moves, push it back into its original position. ■ Do not remove the test strip from the meter to apply blood. ■ Do not touch or move the test strip once the count has begun. With the test strip in the meter and on the display, apply a drop of blood to the test spot.
Step 3: Accurate Results in 45 Seconds. The meter then counts down from 45 to 0 seconds, beeps (if the Beep option is set to ), and displays your result. Remove the test strip only after the result is displayed. M Note: The meter records the time and date of each test even when the Clock option is set to . They can once again be seen by turning the Clock option to . C (Example) Blood glucose test results are automatically stored in your meter’s memory with the time and date they were performed.
Special Messages If your blood glucose level is still 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or below, call your doctor immediately. The meter displays results from 0 to 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L). If your blood glucose test result is 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or below, your meter will beep in a low tone (if the Beep option is set to ) and display a special message: Blood glucose results greater than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L) are displayed as hi and your meter will beep in a high tone (if the Beep option is set to ).
Checking the Amount of Blood on the Test Strip Test results below 60 mg/dL3 (3.3 mmol/L) mean low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL4 (13.3 mmol/L) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), and do not have symptoms, first repeat the test. If you have symptoms and continue to get results that fall below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.
