Description and Use

The ONE TOUCH

BASIC

Blood

Glucose Monitoring System is

intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

This statement means that the system

should be used only for testing

purposes and only outside of the

human body. The ONE TOUCH

BASIC

Meter and Test Strips are

used for monitoring whole blood

glucose for people who have been

diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

This device is not to be used for the

diagnosis of diabetes.

The ONE TOUCH BASIC Blood

Glucose Monitoring System meas-

ures the amount of glucose (sugar) in

whole blood. When blood is applied

to the Test Strip, compounds on the

Test Strip react with the blood and

a blue color is formed. The intensity

of the color is then measured and

read by the ONE TOUCH BASIC

Meter.

Turkish, Hungarian, Czech, Polish,

Russian or Japanese and each

language’s corresponding unit of

measurement, (mmol/L) or (mg/dL).

TEST STRIP HOLDER. The dark

gray Test Strip Holder keeps the Test

Strip in place. The Meter reads the

color of the reacted Test Strip

through the small hole in the Test

Strip Holder. Remove the Test Strip

Holder from the Meter for cleaning.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 3

TEST AREA. When the Test Strip

Holder is removed, the Test Area is

exposed. The Test Area has a clear,

protective coating over the Meter

optics window that must be kept

clean and lint-free for accurate

results. Be careful not to scratch

or damage this coating.

TEST STRIPS. ONE TOUCH

Test

Strips are used to test your blood

glucose (sugar) level. They are

sensitive to moisture and light, so

they come in a moisture-resistant,

light-protected vial or foil package.

Keep the Test Strips sealed in their

original package until you’re ready

to use them. DO NOT store Test

Strips outside of their packaging.

3. CHECKING THE

SYSTEM

There are two ways to make sure

your ONE TOUCH

BASIC

System

is working properly. The Check

Strip

is used to check that the Meter is

operating properly. The ONE TOUCH

Normal Glucose Control Solution—

Blue Formula is used to check that

both the Meter and the Test Strips

are working together as a system,

and that you are doing the test

correctly. It is very important that

you do these simple checks

routinely to make sure you get

accurate results.

Checking with the Check Strip

A purple and white Check Strip is

included with your ONE TOUCH

BASIC Meter. The Check Strip is

used to make sure your Meter is

working properly.

Strip, call LifeScan Technical

Services for a free replacement.

Checking with Control Solution

ONE TOUCH

Normal Glucose

Control Solution—Blue Formula

should be used to make sure your

Meter and Test Strips are working

properly.

Before you use the Meter to test

your blood glucose for the first time,

practice the procedure using the

Control Solution in place of blood.

When you can do three tests in a

row that are within the ONE TOUCH

Normal Control range, you are ready

to test your blood.

range is for the Glucose Control

Solution only; it is not intended as

a recommended range for your blood

glucose test results.

You should use the Glucose Control

Solution:

■At least once a week.

■When you begin using a new

package of Test Strips.

■Whenever you suspect the Meter

or Test Strip may not be working

properly (for example, when your

results are not consistent with how

you feel).

CAUTION: If your Control

Solution result falls outside the

printed range, the system is not

working properly. DO NOT use

the system to test your blood until

you get a reading that falls within

the printed range. For assistance,

4. GETTING A DROP OF

BLOOD

The PENLET

II Automatic Blood

Sampler is an easy, safe tool for

obtaining a good drop of blood for

testing.

Using the PENLET II

Automatic Blood Sampler

Step 1: Insert a Lancet

Remove the PENLET II Cap by

pulling it straight off.

Release Button

Sliding Barrel Cap

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 20

Insert a new, sterile Lancet into the

Lancet Holder. The Lancet will slide

into the Lancet Holder easier if you

DO NOT line up the ridges on the

Lancet with the slots in the Lancet

Holder. (NOTE: Inserting the Lancet

may automatically cock the

PENLET

II.)

Hold the Lancet firmly and gently

twist off the Lancet Protective Disk.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 21

Replace the PENLET

II Cap. The PENLET II Sampler includes

two Caps. The Cap that comes

attached to the PENLET II Sampler

has a single line on the flat side and

works well for children and most

adults. The other Cap has two lines

on the flat side and works well for

very thick or calloused skin, or

when a deeper puncture is needed.

Deep Penetration

Regular

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 22

Step 2: Cock the PENLET

Sampler

Holding the lower portion of the

PENLET II Sampler, pull out the

dark gray sliding barrel until it

clicks. If it does not click, the

PENLET II Sampler may have

been cocked when the Lancet

was inserted.

Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood

Wash your hands with soap and

warm water and dry them thoroughly.

Warm water stimulates the flow of

blood to the fingers. Hanging your

arm down at your side for 10–15

seconds before the fingerstick will

make it easier, too. If you use alcohol

to clean your finger, make sure you

let it dry before sticking your finger.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 23

Choose a spot on the side of a

different finger each time you test.

Repeated punctures in the same

spot can make your finger sore

and calloused.

Hold the PENLET

II Sampler firmly

against the side of the finger, with

the Cap resting on the finger. (The

harder you press, the deeper the

puncture.)

Press the dark gray Release Button.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 24

Squeeze the finger gently to obtain

a large, hanging drop of blood.

Proceed with the blood glucose test.

(See Testing Your Blood, page 27.)

Step 4: Remove the Lancet

Always use caution when removing

the Lancet and

PENLET

II Cap.

Remove the

PENLET II Cap.

Grasp the ridges on

the dark gray prongs

located on the shaft

near the Release

Button. Point the

Lancet down and

away from you. Pull

back on the dark gray sliding barrel

until the Lancet drops out.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 25

Cleaning the PENLET II Sampler

Clean the PENLET II Sampler and

Cap with soap and water as

needed.

CAUTION:

■Never use a Lancet that has

been used by someone else.

■Dispose of the Lancet in a

container for sharp objects.

■To help avoid infection, use a

new sterile Lancet every time

you test.

■If you share a PENLET

Sampler, each person should

always use a new Lancet and

a new or properly disinfected

Cap. For assistance, call

LifeScan Technical Services.

on the display, apply a drop of blood

to the Test Spot.

The Meter will beep when the blood

has been applied to the Test Spot.

Make sure that you:

■Do not remove the Test Strip from

the Meter to apply blood.

■Do not smear blood on the Test

Spot or apply a second drop after

the test begins.

■Do not move the Test Strip when

you are applying blood. If the Test

Strip moves, push it back to its

original position.

■Touch only the tip of the drop of

blood to the Test Spot.

■Apply enough blood to form a

round, shiny drop that covers the

Test Spot completely and stays wet

during the entire test.

The Meter then counts down from

45 to 0 seconds, followed by a series

of beeps when your result is displayed.

IMPORTANT:

Always check that “MM” and a

decimal point are displayed with

your blood glucose result. If not, you

may have accidentally changed the

display language and unit of mea-

surement to “P 1” English (mg/dL)

or an electronic malfunction may

have occurred. See Setting the

Meter, page 7, to reset the language

and unit of measurement to “P 3”

English (mmol/L).

Be sure to wait for

the beeps before

you note your

result. Your result

will continue to

display until you

turn the meter off

or for 2 minutes,

when the meter

automatically turns off. The Meter

displays results which are between

Although the ONE TOUCH

BASIC

System requires only a small drop of

blood, it is very important that the

drop be large enough to cover the

Test Spot completely.

In many cases, the Meter can detect

if the drop of blood was too small to

give an accurate reading. If

appears on the display, your drop of

blood was too small or smeared, or

the Test Strip was inserted only part-

way into the Test Strip Holder.

Repeat the test with a new Test Strip

and enough blood to cover the entire

Test Spot.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 35

Checking the Amount of Blood

on the Test Strip

The Meter cannot always tell if a

sample is too small, so it is impor-

tant that you also look at the Test

Strip to make sure that you applied

enough blood.

■Remove the Test

Strip from the

Meter and look at

the Test Spot. It

should still have

a wet, shiny drop

that completely covers the circle.

If the blood sample has a dull, dry

appearance, you may not have

applied enough blood, or you may

have smeared it.

■Look at the back

of the Test Strip.

You should see a

full, dark circle.*

*The white portion on

the back of the Test

Strip may also appear as a small square,

due to different manufacturing processes.

This difference will not affect your blood

glucose results.

9. QUESTIONS AND

ANSWERS

In the following pages, we’ve

provided answers to some of the

most common questions people

have about home blood glucose

monitoring and the ONE TOUCH

BASIC

Meter. If you have a question

that isn’t covered here, consult your

Health Care Professional or call

LifeScan Technical Services.

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

BASIC System helps you check

whether or not you are in control by

monitoring your blood glucose levels.

The test results provide a good

picture of how diet, exercise, and

medication are affecting your

diabetes.

Test results can also indicate whether

your diabetes is changing in ways

that might require an adjustment in

your treatment program.

Always consult your Health Care

Professional before making changes

in your diabetes control plan.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 64

Q. How often should I test my

blood glucose?

A. This is best decided by you and

your Health Care Professional. It

may vary according to your age, the

type of diabetes you have, any

medication you are using, whether

you are ill, and any physical or

emotional changes in your life.

Q. Should my test results always

be the same?

A. No. Results will vary somewhat

from test to test, depending on diet,

activity level, and time of day. These

variations provide useful clues about

your condition and how well your

treatment program is working.

With your Health Care Professional,

determine your own personal target

blood glucose values, as well as what

an unusually high or low test result

is for you. In most cases, your test

results should stay within that range.

Q. What can I do to be sure I get

accurate test results?

A. Make sure that you do the

following:

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 65

Keep your Meter clean at all times.

Use enough blood. The entire Test

Spot must be completely covered

with blood. Touch the drop of blood

lightly to the middle of the Test Spot

to fill the entire Spot. The drop of

blood should form a round, shiny

circle over the entire Spot, and stay

wet during the entire test.

Do not smear the blood or touch the

Test Spot with your finger. Do not

add more blood after you’ve applied

the first drop.

Never use Test Strips beyond their

expiration date. Do not store Test

Strips outside of their packaging.

Make sure the Meter code number is

set to match the code number on the

package of Test Strips you are using.

Periodically review your use of

the Meter with your Health Care

Professional.

Q. What should I do if my blood

glucose test results are consistently

high for my own diabetes control

plan?

A. The goal of diabetes management

is to maintain a “near normal”

amount of glucose in the blood.

Normal, low, and high blood glucose

values for your individual treatment

plan should be determined with

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 66

your Health Care Professional.

If your blood glucose test results

remain consistently high, contact

your Health Care Professional.

Q. What are the expected blood

glucose values associated with

well-controlled diabetes?

A. Fasting: 3.3–7.2 mmol/L

After meals (1 hour): Less than

10.0 mmol/L

After meals (2 hours): Less than

8.3 mmol/L

1,2

Q. What do I do if test results still

seem too low or too high?

A. Remember, the test results you

obtain will vary from time to time

depending on food intake, insulin

dose, exercise, etc. Ask yourself the

following questions:

■“How do I feel?”

■“Do I have symptoms of low blood

sugar (hypoglycemia) or high

blood sugar (hyperglycemia)?”

■“What have I eaten?”

■“How much exercise have I had?”

■“Am I ill (e.g., common cold,

flu, etc.)?”

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 67

In addition to the common factors

listed above which cause real

variations in blood glucose results,

there are certain abnormal condi-

tions which can interfere with the

accuracy of your blood glucose

monitoring results. These limitations

are described below and should be

discussed with your physician:

Extremes in hematocrit (the amount

of red blood cells in the blood) can

affect test results. High hematocrits

(above 60%) cause inaccurately low

results. Very low hematocrits (below

25%) can also cause inaccurately

low results.

Severe dehydration and excessive

water loss may cause inaccurately

low results. This has been reported

in the medical literature for leading

blood glucose monitoring products.

3,4

Severe dehydration can lead to many

serious medical complications. One

complication which is of particular

importance in diabetes management

is a “hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar”

state, with or without ketosis, which

may be life-threatening if left un-

treated. The following are some

of the factors which could lead

to severe dehydration:

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 68

■Vomiting and diarrhea

■Prescription drugs, e.g., diuretics

■Inability to recognize or respond to

“thirst” sensations

■Sustained uncontrolled diabetes

Whenever inadequate fluid intake

or excessive water loss occurs,

CONSULT A PHYSICIAN

IMMEDIATELY.

Remember, if you ever experience

symptoms which are not consistent

with your blood glucose monitoring

results and you have eliminated

common procedural errors described

in this Owner’s Booklet as the cause,

you should contact a physician

immediately!

Never make significant changes to

your medication program or ignore

physical symptoms without

consulting a physician.

IMPORTANT: When the message

HIGH appears on the Meter

display, this indicates severe

hyperglycemia (blood sugar too

high); contact your physician

immediately.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 69

Q. Why don’t my Meter results

match the results that I got from

my doctor’s laboratory exactly?

A. Many Health Care Professionals

believe that the result that you get

with your Meter should fall within

15% to 20% of the result obtained

when whole blood is tested on

laboratory equipment.

However,

there are a number of reasons why

the blood glucose result from your

Meter may vary even more than 20%

from a laboratory result.

One of

the most common reasons is that

laboratories use serum or plasma

samples, while home blood glucose

monitors use whole blood. Whole

blood results are approximately

10%–12% lower than serum or

plasma values from the same blood

sample (at average hemocrit levels

of 41%–45%). To adjust for this

difference, divide the laboratory

value by 112% or 1.12.

Example:

■Let’s assume your lab (plasma)

result is 8.3 mmol/L.

■8.3 divided by 1.12 = 7.4 mmol/L.

■Compare your Meter result to

7.4 mmol/L.

LSI-97-050 OTB Eg 7/25/97 11:09 PM Page 70

There is a difference in the glucose

levels of venous blood (usually

drawn from a vein in your arm)

and capillary blood (blood from a

fingerstick). After a meal, the glucose

levels in the capillaries may be

1.1–3.9 mmol/L higher than the

levels in venous blood.

If your lab

test is taken while you are in the

fasting state (before breakfast),

this difference will be minimal

(0.1–0.3 mmol/L).

Variation may also occur between

your Meter and the lab if the two tests

were not done within 10–15 minutes

of each other. Blood glucose values

change rapidly, especially after you

have eaten, and the two tests could

have very different results.
