PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS If your test result is 60 mg/dL or lower, this indicates low blood glucose (hypoglycemia). The meter will display the test result along with the message danger call.dr. You should immediately treat hypoglycemia as recommended by your healthcare professional.
PAGE 11
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.

DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 11 correctly. You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of OneTouch® Basic®, Profile®, OneTouch® II Test Strips. BEFORE TESTING Note: You do not have to enter the set-up mode to test. However, the OneTouch® Basic® Meter has a number of settings you can change, including the language, time and date, display formats, and the unit of measure.
PAGE 20
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 12 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.
PAGE 21
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 13 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.

DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 14 Checking with the Check Strip A purple and white check strip is included in the carrying case of your OneTouch® Basic® System. Before doing a check strip test, make sure the test strip holder, test area, and check strip are clean, dry, and lint-free. Do the check strip test at room temperature (between 64° and 79°F [18°–26°C] ).
PAGE 23
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Do a check strip test: ■ At least once each day you test your blood ■ After cleaning the meter ■ Whenever your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or when you think your results are not accurate ■ If you drop the meter ■ If you get the meter wet ■ Whenever the following message appears: Page 15 How to do a check strip test: Step 1: Press the On/Off Button.

Getting a Drop of Blood CAUTION: To reduce the chance of infection: ■ Never share a lancet with another person. ■ Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only. ■ The OneTouch® 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 OneTouch® Penlet® Plus Sampler.
PAGE 36
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM While the lancet is in the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus Sampler, twist off the protective disk. Make two full turns to ensure that the lancet separates from the protective disk. Page 28 Replace the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus Cap. Turn the cap clockwise until it is snug but not overly tight.
PAGE 37
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 29 Step 2: Cock the OneTouch® Penlet ® Plus Sampler. 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. Slide the ejection/cocking control backward until it clicks. If it does not click, the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus Sampler may have been cocked when the lancet was inserted.
PAGE 38
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Step 3: Wash Your Hands. Page 30 Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. Hold the OneTouch® 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.) Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry hands thoroughly.
PAGE 39
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 31 Step 5: Remove the Lancet. Gently massage your finger to obtain the required blood volume. Proceed with your blood glucose test. Remove the cap. Twist it counterclockwise.
PAGE 40
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM 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. Page 32 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. Return the ejection/cocking control to the middle position. Replace the cap.

Test results greater than 240 mg/dL4 (13.3 mmol/L) mean high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you get results below 60 mg/dL or above 240 mg/dL, and do not have symptoms, first repeat the test.
PAGE 48
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM If the following message Page 40 ■ appears on the display, your drop of blood was too small, or smeared, or the test strip was not pushed all the way into the test strip holder. Repeat the test with a new test strip and enough blood to cover the entire test spot. 40 Remove the test Side Front strip from the meter and look at the test spot. It should still have a wet, shiny drop that completely covers the test (Correct) spot.
PAGE 49
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US ■ 11/25/03 3:27 PM Look at the back of the test strip. You should see a full, dark circle. 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 a false low result. Repeat the test with a new test strip.

DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM ■ COMPARING METER AND LABORATORY RESULTS The blood glucose test result you obtain from your meter may be different from your laboratory result due to normal variation; however, the two results should be within 20% of each other.5 To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, follow these guidelines.
PAGE 51
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Comparing the results: ■ ■ ■ ■ Page 43 Example: When the lab tests your blood, only the serum or plasma portion is used. Your OneTouch® Basic® Meter uses only whole blood. Comparing serum or plasma to whole blood is like comparing a temperature of 98.6°F with the temperature of 37°C—in order to see if the values are equal, you have to adjust one of the results. Whole blood results are approximately 12% lower than serum or plasma results.
PAGE 52
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM recently, the blood glucose level from a fingerstick can be up to 70 mg/dL higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample) used for a lab test.7 Therefore it is best to fast for four to eight hours before doing comparison tests. Factors such as the amount of red blood cells in the blood (a high or low hematocrit) or the loss of body fluid (severe dehydration) may also give a meter result different from a laboratory result.
PAGE 53
DCO_06331801A_OTB_OB_US 11/25/03 3:27 PM Page 45 USING THE METER MEMORY Your OneTouch® Basic® Meter automatically stores up to 75 test records. It stores blood glucose, check strip, and control solution test results with time and date. When you have stored more than 75 records, the oldest record is dropped from the memory as a new record is added. M Entering the Memory Mode C M C The word memory with the memory symbol will appear briefly. Turn the meter on by pressing the on/off button.
