OneTouch® DMS Button Behavior

The following Command buttons appear on several OneTouch® DMS screens. Their actions

are common to all screens unless otherwise noted. A button is enabled (active) if the label on

the button is in black font. A button is disabled (not active) if the label on the button is in

gray font.

When you click on this: You can do this:

Add a new patient name and profile to OneTouch® DMS

database. After clicking on Add New Patient, you will go

to the General Tab of the Patient Setup screen to begin

entering information. If you just created a new database,

only the Guest patient record exists. Before you can

transfer readings from a meter to a patient other than

Guest, you will have to add that patient name to the

OneTouch® DMS database.

Manually add a new data record to the database. After

clicking on Add New Record, the Software will remain

at the current screen where you can continue to add

data records.

If you are modifying a data record via the Report screens,

you may add other types of data records by clicking on

the Add New Record button. This will activate the other

Tab selections on the Manual Entry-A screen.

Display a new report after updating patient name,

date range, or Report format.

Copy one or more database records to a separate file

for storage. Archiving lets you manage the size of the

OneTouch® DMS database by removing older data that

you may no longer need to review. This way you can keep

the database size at a minimum so the OneTouch® DMS

works most efficiently.

Installing OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1 on Your PC

You can use these installation instructions if you:

■Are a new OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1 user, or

■Are upgrading from InTouch® Software, OneTouch® DMS v.2.0, v2.1 or v2.2 in English

to OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1, also in English, or

■Wish to uninstall OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1

Notes:

■Do not use these instructions to upgrade to OneTouch® DMS in a new language.

For example, if you have OneTouch® DMS v2.1 in Spanish already installed on your

system and wish to install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1 in English, be sure to archive your

Spanish database (OneTouch.mdb from C:\Program Files\OneTouch\Data) in a new

folder, uninstall the Spanish v2.1 and delete the C:\Program Files\OneTouch folder

before installing v2.3.1 in English. Refer to the Archive topic in the User Manual for

information on archiving your data.

■Do not use these instructions to upgrade from OneTouch® DMS Pro. OneTouch® DMS

v2.3.1 is not compatible with databases created with OneTouch® DMS Pro.

OneTouch® Diabetes Management Software v2.3.1 User Manual 24

Table of Contents | Index W Previous Next X

Table of Contents | Index W Previous Next X24

There are two steps you must complete before OneTouch® DMS will work on your PC. The first

step is loading the software onto the PC. The second step is linking the software to a patient

database.

1. To install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1.

Insert the OneTouch® DMS CD into the CD-ROM drive and follow the instructions for

installing the Software Program on your PC. Some of the key screens are described

here:

a. Autorun screen -The Autorun screen provides links to two installations:

•Install/Uninstall/Upgrade OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1

•Install Adobe® Acrobat® Reader 6.0

Notes:

•You will need Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 or above to view the User Manual and Quick

Reference Guide.

•If you choose to install Adobe® Acrobat® 6.0 first, you will need to return to the

Autorun screen to install OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1. The Autorun screen should

display automatically after inserting the CD in the CD-ROM drive. If it does not,

you can invoke it in one of two ways:

•Reinsert the CD into the CD-ROM drive

•Access your CD drive through Windows® Explorer:

– Right-click the Start button. Choose Explore

– Click on the CD icon containing OneTouch Software.

– Double-click on the OneTouch Software icon.

– Double-click on Autorun.exe.

•At the end of the installation, you should notice a OneTouch icon on your

desktop.

Table of Contents | Index W Previous Next X25

b. Country Selection

•Select the country where you purchase your test strips from the drop-down

menu. It is important to select the right country to ensure that your test results

are presented correctly, because the calibration reference varies from one

country to another.

•For users in countries not included on this list, OneTouch® DMS offers an “Other”

installation option. This option requires you to select your glucose value

reporting options.

•Different glucose value reporting options should

be selected based on the OneTouch® Test Strips

and meters used in your country. Select the

reporting options that match your OneTouch®

Test Strip product information.

2. To connect to a database.

OneTouch® DMS uses a database file to manage information. If you are not upgrading

from OneTouch® DMS v2.0/v2.1/v2.2, in order to begin, you must identify the correct

file to use. You have three choices:

•OPTION 1 - Start fresh by creating a new file to store data.

•OPTION 2 - Use data from an old version of InTouch® Software.

•OPTION 3 - Link to an existing OneTouch® DMS file.

Notes:

■Please choose the required option with care. Choosing the wrong option may lead to

inappropriate results.

■You will not have to repeat these steps once you have either created a new database or

linked to an existing database. OneTouch® DMS will automatically link to that database

every time you use the Software. If you reinstall OneTouch® DMS v2.3.1, you will have

to re-establish the correct database link.

Note: Linking OneTouch® v2.3.1 to an existing database may take several minutes. This is due

to the complexity of converting data to the new database format. It's also possible that there

may not be enough disk space to perform a conversion from an earlier InTouch® Software

database. In this case you will be notified and the conversion will not proceed. A message will

prompt you to free up disk space and will indicate approximately how much space is needed.

Schedule Tab

OneTouch® DMS uses meal slots to organize data for Reports. The Schedule tab of the Patient

Setup screen lets you customize the start and end time for 7 pre-defined meal slots for both

working and non-working days (see Figures 2.5a and 2.5b). This way you can track and

monitor your glucose levels and medications for specific time periods throughout the day,

customized to your daily routine.

Start and end times may be set for the following meal slots:

■Before-Breakfast

■After-Breakfast

■Before-Lunch

■After-Lunch

■Before-Dinner

■After-Dinner

■Night

Note: To ensure that glucose readings appear in OneTouch® DMS Reports in the same meal

slot that was used to store the readings in the meter, it is important that the meal schedule

you set up in OneTouch® DMS matches the meal schedule stored in the meter. If the

schedules don't match, glucose readings that are transferred to OneTouch® DMS may be

displayed in an inappropriate meal slot. If any out-of-target readings appear in the wrong

meal slot, this may lead you to misinterpret information when tracking and trending data.

Using the schedule to assign meter readings to time slots:

When readings are transferred from the meter to

OneTouch® DMS, they are tagged with a time stamp

and are automatically assigned time slots. If you decide

to modify meal slot times, you will impact only those

readings that have not yet been transferred. Readings

already in OneTouch® DMS will maintain their existing

meal slot designation. For this reason, it is important to

note if schedule times are appropriate before you transfer

readings. It is also important to synchronize your meter

clock with that of the PC (assuming the PC clock is correct), to ensure that future readings

are slotted correctly. OneTouch® DMS will notify you if your PC and meter clocks are out of

sync by more than 15 minutes.

Using comments/events to assign meter readings to time slots:

Depending on meter type, some OneTouch® Meters allow you

to tag a reading with a meal slot comment. Such readings will

be assigned to the same meal slot by the OneTouch® DMS

application, even if they are taken at a time outside the meal

slot range. For example, a reading with a “Before- Breakfast”

comment/event would be assigned to the Before-Breakfast

time slot even if it were taken outside that time slot. This feature

applies only to the OneTouch® UltraSmart® and OneTouch®

Profile® Meters. For all other OneTouch® Meters, readings are

assigned to time slots using the actual time of the reading.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UNITS OF MEASURE

■Different units of measure are standard in different countries or regions. Milligrams

per deciliter (mg/dL) is the standard unit used in the United States. The unit of

measurement used in Canada, some European countries and other parts of the

world is mmol/L. This unit includes a decimal point but mg/dL results do not.

■There is a significant difference in the glucose reading depending on the units of

measurement, mg/dL or mmol/L.

■To view results in OneTouch® DMS the same way they are displayed in your meter,

refer to your meter display where the glucose unit of measure appears with the

test result. If you wish to view results differently from the meter, OneTouch® DMS

can automatically convert readings for display without affecting the setting in

the meter.

Displaying Results as Plasma Values or Whole Blood Values

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PLASMA AND WHOLE BLOOD READINGS:

All LifeScan meters require a sample of whole blood from your finger or arm to give

you a blood glucose reading. But there is a difference in how certain OneTouch®

Meters measure the amount of glucose in the blood.

A few LifeScan meters measure glucose based on the entire whole blood sample.

Others measure glucose based on only the plasma portion of the whole blood sample.

Plasma is the liquid portion of the whole blood sample after the red blood cells are

removed. Most clinical laboratories measure plasma glucose. There is a difference in

the glucose concentration in whole blood and plasma. A glucose reading from a

plasma sample is about 12% higher than a reading from a whole blood sample.

So if you are using a LifeScan meter that measures plasma glucose, readings will be

about 12% higher than those taken from a LifeScan meter that measures glucose

from the entire whole blood portion.

It's important to remember this difference when comparing glucose readings from

OneTouch® Meters with measurements taken at the lab. Several OneTouch® Meters

automatically convert readings to plasma values. Others may not, depending on the

country or locale where the meter was purchased. See the table below for more

information on each OneTouch® Meter.

CAUTION: Due to the difference in glucose readings related to plasma or whole blood

reporting, it is important to use the right test strips with OneTouch® Meters. That's

because test strips are designed to work hand in hand with the way OneTouch® Meters

measure glucose in the blood. For this reason, you should only use test strips purchased

in the same country or locale where you purchased your meter. This will ensure that you

are using the right test strips. As a result, your glucose readings will be as consistent and

accurate as possible. Please refer to the documentation that comes with the test strips.

Note: When communicating with devices other than OneTouch® Meters, the Software

assumes that these devices are plasma calibrated unless otherwise specified.

If you don't see your meter listed, refer to the Owner's Booklet for that meter to check if it is

supported with this version of the Software, and for instructions on whether results are

displayed as plasma or whole blood values.

If you are transferring readings from a OneTouch® Meter that only reports glucose readings as

whole blood values, you can use OneTouch® DMS to display these readings as plasma values

Download Meter Readings

Glucose readings transferred from the meter are saved in the database. Any Date and Time

tags and any Comments or Event Markers associated with a reading are also transferred.

Event Markers impact how glucose readings are organized and displayed in Program Reports.

Once readings have been transferred, you may clear the readings from the meter memory.

Before you can transfer readings or clear readings from the meter memory, you must first

establish communication between your PC and the meter. Communication steps are covered

below. Please note the following as you establish communications between the meter and

your PC:

■It makes no difference which language the meter is using to display readings.

OneTouch® DMS is designed to work with any language you have selected for the

display.

■Only one meter can communicate with OneTouch® DMS at any given time.

■You may click on the Cancel button at any time to stop the process.

■If the meter Clock time differs from the PC Clock time by more than 15 minutes, a

message box will appear. It will instruct you to make sure the PC and meter Clock

times are the same and accurate.

Caution: If you will be transferring readings from more than 1 meter (for example, one

meter at home and one at work), make sure all meter clock times match the PC clock

time. This will help ensure that your results can be compared to one another and are

accurate.

OneTouch® Meters that use adapters in place of data ports include:

■OneTouch® FastTake® Meter

■OneTouch® PocketScan® Meter

■OneTouch® EuroFlash® Meter

■OneTouch® SmartScan™ Meter

2. Connect the other end of the OneTouch™ Interface Cable to one of the available COM/USB

ports on your PC.

3. Make sure the COM port number matches the selection you made in the General Tab on

the Preferences screen. Or, select the Autosearch option in the General Tab. This is the

default setting. With the Autosearch option, OneTouch® DMS will try to locate the correct

COM port where you connected the meter.

4. In the lists below, find the meter that you are connecting and turn the meter ON or OFF

as noted. A visual of the meter types will appear on the OneTouch® DMS screen to help

guide you.

Assigning Meter Readings to the Database

Readings transferred from a meter must always be linked to a patient name in the OneTouch®

DMS database (see Figure 3.1). Unless you selected Require name confirmation to get

the meter readings in the General Tab on the Preferences screen, OneTouch® DMS will

automatically try to assign meter readings to the same patient you transferred its readings

to the last time. OneTouch® DMS keeps track of meter-patient assignments for every transfer

by checking a unique ID number that's stored in the meter memory.

Figure 3.1

OneTouch® Diabetes Management Software v2.3.1 User Manual 79

Table of Contents | Index W Previous Next X

Table of Contents | Index W Previous Next X79

The rules for assigning meter readings to the database are as follows:

■You may transfer readings from a particular meter to the same patient as the previous

transfer, a new patient, or a Guest patient.

■If you want to transfer readings from a meter to a different patient than before, you

must have selected Require name confirmation to get the meter readings in the

General Tab of the Preferences screen. You will be prompted to select a new patient

name. Scroll through the names in the Patient field and select the desired one. If you

do not see the patient name you are looking for, you may click on the Add New

Patient link to create a new name.

■A Guest patient is a permanent entry in the OneTouch® DMS database. It serves as a

generic patient name. For example, you can transfer meter readings to the Guest

patient name for anyone for whom you want to generate a report but for whom you

don't care if their records are saved in the database. Previous Guest entries are deleted

from the database every time you start up the Software and each time you transfer

new readings to the Guest patient.

■You may stop the transfer process by clicking on the Cancel button.

Notes:

■If you are a new OneTouch® DMS user with a blank (empty) database, only the Guest

patient name exists in the database. This means you will have to click on the Add New

Patient button to create a new patient name for the meter transfer.

■If meter readings are not successfully transferred, an on screen message box will

prompt you to check the meter/cable connections. For other meter communications

problems, see Appendix C: Troubleshooting.

After readings are transferred from a device and saved to a patient file, OneTouch® DMS will

display the following information:

1. Total number of results transferred

2. Number of duplicate results

3. Number of unsuitable results. A result is reported as unsuitable when the record

transferred from the device is invalid. Some examples of unsuitable results include:

■The record is missing date or time information.

■The record date is invalid (e.g. the 13th month in the year).

4. Number unsupported results. Unsupported results are valid result types that are either

not currently shown in OneTouch® DMS reports or include more information than

expected. Some examples of unsupported results are:

■A new type of record, e.g. measuring lung capacity.

■A temperature value that is tagged to a glucose meter reading.

Both of these examples are theoretical. The first describes a record type that is not currently

shown in OneTouch® DMS reports. The second describes a result with too much information.

In both examples, the data is stored in OneTouch® DMS, but not displayed in a current

OneTouch® DMS report. Unsupported results may be viewed if a software driver has been

installed on your PC that lets you display the data in a special report format. (See Add-in

Reports under View and Manage Reports and Data Records).

Caution: OneTouch® DMS assumes that a meter is associated with only one patient at

a time. So when a transfer takes place, all readings are assumed to belong to that one

patient. If you plan to have more than one patient use the same meter, make sure to clear

the meter readings between transfers. This will ensure that data for different patients are

not intermingled. Refer to the Clear Meter Readings section for information about clearing

meter readings.

Statistics Panel

A statistics panel is included in all reports except for the Insulin, Health Checks, Exception

Reports, and any Add-in Reports. The Panel provides a quantitative summary of the data

that is included in a particular Report.

When you see this in the

Statistics Panel:

It means this:

Glucose Average The average of all glucose readings in the Report.

% Within Target The percentage of glucose readings in the Report that

are within the Before-Meal and After-Meal target

ranges.

# of Glucose Readings The total number of glucose readings included in

the Report. Omitted and Deleted readings are not

included in the calculations.

Number of Hypo Readings The total number of readings that were at or below the

Hypoglycemic threshold.

Standard Deviation A measure of the variability (spread) between

individual glucose readings and the Glucose

Average calculated above. The higher the variability,

the higher the standard deviation.

Target Type Specifies the Diabetes Type for the patient covered

by the Report and whether the results are compared to

global targets or personal targets.

Glucose Trend Report

The Glucose Trend Report displays daily glucose readings for a selected Date Range (see

Figure 3.6). This Report helps you easily track changes in glucose readings from day to day.

■Glucose readings are displayed as dots on an X-Y graph. Each reading is connected to

the next with a dashed line.

Note: The dashed line that connects blood sugar readings in this graph does not

reflect actual glucose levels. Blood sugars can go high or low throughout the day

especially around mealtimes, medication or exercise. Actual testing before and after

these events is required to get a better picture of how they affect your sugar levels.

■Readings will appear in chronological order from oldest to most recent. The X-axis

represents the date and time of the reading and the Y-axis represents the actual

glucose level. All glucose readings for a particular day are displayed. When printing the

Glucose Trend Report, readings are displayed as dots and are connected by solid lines.

■The shaded gray area on the graph represents the Overall (Target) Range. Any readings

that fall above or below the shaded gray area are considered outside of this range.

When printing the Glucose Trend Report, the Overall (Target) Range limits will appear

Pie Chart Report

The Pie Chart Report displays the percentage of glucose readings that fall above, below and

within each Before-Meal and After-Meal target range. This Report helps you easily see how

glucose readings compare with target ranges for each Meal Slot (see Figure 3.7).

■A total of eight pie charts will appear in the Report. These represent the Before-Meal

and After-Meal breakdowns for each Meal Slot , one for Night and one for Overall

Target Range.

■Pie charts for each Before-Meal and After-Meal pairing will appear side by side. This

helps you scan for trends within a particular Meal Slot.

■Chart pairings are also stacked vertically so you can compare Before-Meal percentages

and After-Meal percentages across all Meal Slots.

■The Pie Chart Report uses applicable Before-Meal and After-Meal target ranges to

display an Overall Total range. The Overall Total pie chart provides the percentage

breakdowns using all glucose readings within and outside the Overall (Target) Range.

Insulin Report

The Insulin Report displays average glucose readings, insulin units, and carbohydrates by

Meal Slot (see Figure 3.10). This Report helps you easily analyze the relationship between

glucose readings, insulin dosing, and carbohydrate intake.

The Insulin Report is composed of two graphs that are stacked on top of one another. The

same X-axis (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Night Meal Slots) is used for both graphs. The Y-axis

represents the actual glucose, insulin or carb value.

■The top graph displays the average glucose reading by Meal Slot. Glucose averages are

represented as dots and are connected by a dashed line. Note: The dashed line that

connects average blood sugar readings in this graph does not reflect actual average

glucose levels.

■The bottom graph displays average insulin units and carb intake by Meal Slot. Each

insulin and carb average is represented as a separate bar. If there are multiple Insulin

Types for any Meal Slot, the averages will appear as side-by-side bars. Only Insulin

Injection and Bolus amounts are used in calculating the averages. Pump Daily Total

amounts are not included. Insulin data transferred from a meter or entered manually

for any Meal Slot will override any insulin units defined in the Regimen Tab of the

Patient Setup screen. Colors will be used to differentiate insulin averages for each

insulin type, and to differentiate insulin averages from carb averages.

The Manual Entry screens let you add new data records to the OneTouch® DMS database.

You may also modify data records through the Manual Entry screens when accessed via

the OneTouch® DMS Reports. The editing function is described in the Modifying Data Records

section of the User Manual.

There are two Manual Entry screens, Manual Entry-A and Manual Entry -B.

■The Manual Entry-A screen (see Figure 3.17) contains five Tabs labeled Glucose,

Insulin, Oral Meds, Exercise, and Food.

■The Manual Entry-B screen contains only one Tab for Health Records (see Figure 3.18).

On this screen, you may add diabetes-related health data. These data records can help

provide a more complete picture of diabetes health status. Data entry will be similar to

that of the other data records. Click on the Go to Other Records link to return to the

Manual Entry-A screen.

Both Manual Entry screens include a link to the other.

Whenever you manually add a record, the following rules apply:

■Records will be tagged as “added” in the OneTouch® DMS database. This will

differentiate the record from others that have been transferred from a meter. That tag

will appear in the Status column of the Day View screen in the Logbook and Data List

Reports. A footnote will also appear at the bottom of each Report where “added” data

records are included.

■Records will include a “Time” stamp that is accurate to the nearest second

■The Software restricts you from adding duplicate results

Date, Time and Result (value) are required data entry fields for adding any record type.

Comments are optional.

Problems and Solutions

If you see these error

messages on the screen:

You can do the following:

“The meter is not

responding. Check the

cable/adapter connections.”

or

“Error-Could not find any

meter on the serial port.”

1. Verify that the device is a OneTouch® Meter, or check

the Owner's Booklet for that device to see if it is

supported by OneTouch® DMS.

2. Make sure the meter is turned ON or OFF as specified in

of the User Manual.

3. Make sure the OneTouch™ Interface Cable (or other

cable for non-OneTouch® branded devices) is securely

attached to the meter data port and the PC.

4. If the meter also requires an adapter, make sure the

adapter is inserted correctly into the meter and is

securely attached to the OneTouch™ Interface Cable.

5. Make sure you have selected the correct COM port

(or the Autosearch) option on the Preferences screen.

6. Make sure the cable is connected to a 9-pin or 25-pin

serial port, or a USB port.

7. If you are using a OneTouch™ USB Interface Cable,

make sure you have installed the Cable software driver

that was provided in the Cable packaging. The driver

is also available on www.lifescan.com.

8. Make sure the port you are connecting to is not being

used by an internal modem or any device software.

9. If you have a OneTouch® II Meter, make sure the

Diabetes Management Setting is RS-232 and the

baud rate is set to 9600. Refer to the OneTouch® II

Owner's Booklet for more information.

I see data in my patient's

meter that is not displayed

in the OneTouch® DMS

Reports.

The problem is most likely due to a meter date that was

set incorrectly. As an example, if the year in the meter is

incorrectly set to 2014, and the meter is subsequently

used for testing, records in the meter memory will have

dates in the future. When the meter is downloaded to

OneTouch® DMS, the software may not “find” readings

because the Software is looking for blood glucose data

in the current year.

The following suggestions may help:

1) Use the Data List Report to see glucose readings since

the last download. Select “Since last transfer” as the Date

Range in the Data List Report. This will display all readings

since the last download in the order in which the glucose

tests were taken (as opposed to the calendar date order-

which could have been affected by incorrect date settings

in the meter). This feature is not available if you have

transferred results from a OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter.

Or

Select “Latest 14 days” when specifying the Date Range

for viewing and printing Reports. This will show if there

are any glucose results stamped with dates that are not

the current year.

and

2) The data from the meter set to year 2014 are still in the

database and in the meter. To prevent future problems,

you should:

■Archive and delete the records with dates in the

future

■Clear the meter so that the data is not downloaded

again

and

3) Set the meter to the correct date and time.
