CAUTION

Before using any product

to test your blood

glucose (blood sugar),

read all instructions and

practise the test. Do all

quality control checks

as directed and consult

with a diabetes health-

care professional.

The One Touch™Profile™System is intended for use

outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use). It should be

used only for testing purposes and only with whole blood

(not plasma or serum). It should not be used for the

diagnosis of diabetes and has not been validated for

testing the blood of newborns.

The One Touch Profile System contains many small parts

which may be dangerous if swallowed. It is therefore best

to keep the system away from small children.

INTRODUCTION

The One Touch™Profile™Glucose

Monitoring System is for people with

diabetes who need to check the level of

glucose (sugar) in their blood. To per-

form a blood glucose test, a One Touch™

Test Strip is inserted into the meter and

a small sample of blood is applied to

the test strip. The meter then measures

the blood glucose level and displays the

result in just 45 seconds. Easy-to-

understand symbols guide you through

the test procedure and help you if any

problems arise.

4

The One Touch Profile Glucose

Monitoring System consists of three main

products: The One Touch™Profile™

Blood Glucose Meter, One Touch Test

Strips and One Touch™Normal Control

Solution.

For reliable results and to maintain the

manufacturer’s total service, support,

and warranty, use only One Touch™

Profile™System products made by

LifeScan.

PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

• If you experience symptoms that are not consistent with your blood glucose results,

and you have carefully followed the procedure described in your owner’s booklet,

contact your healthcare professional immediately.

•DO NOT make significant changes to your medication program or ignore physical

symptoms without consulting your healthcare professional.

• If the message HI DANGER appears on the meter display, this indicates severe high

blood sugar (hyperglycemia); contact your doctor immediately.

• Note that extremes in whole blood hematocrits, above 60% or below 25%, can cause

false low results.

• Reducing substances, such as Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), have little effect on blood

glucose results when found in normal blood concentrations. However, abnormally

high concentrations of reducing substances in blood will cause false low test results.

•DO NOT use blood samples with preservatives that contain fluoride (in gray top test

tubes). You will get false low results.

• When testing, removal of the test strip prior to display of the blood glucose result

may give you a false result.

CODING THE METER

Code numbers are used to calibrate the

meter with the test strips for reliable

results.

Make sure you set the code:

• Before using the meter for the first

time.

• Every time you change to another vial

of test strips.

Check that the code number on the

display matches the code number on the

test strip vial.

Step 1: Turn on the meter

The meter code will appear on the

display for a moment along with the

current time and date and then the

message INSERT CODE 9 (for

example) STRIP will appear.

10

SETTING THE SYSTEM

Step 2: Match the Code Numbers.

If the code number on the display

matches the code number on your test

strip vial, you may begin testing.

If the two code numbers do not match,

follow Step 3 to code the meter.

Step 3: Code the Meter.

After the word

INSERT is dis-

played on the meter,

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.

CODE 9

CODE 10

It is very important that you do the fol-

lowing two simple checks routinely to

make sure you get accurate results.

CHECK STRIP TEST

A purple and white check strip is

included in your meter case. 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 18° and

26°C (64°F - 79°F).

Do a check strip test:

• At least once a day

• 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

• Whenever the REDO message

appears before the INSERT CODE

10 (for example) STRIP prompt.

IMPORTANT CHECK STRIP INFORMATION

• If your check strip result is repeatedly 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 result that is within the correct range.

• Make sure both sides of the check strip are clean. If necessary, wipe the check

strip with a soft cloth or tissue dampened with water. Dry it completely.

• Do not get blood, alcohol, control solution, or any other fluid on the

check strip.

• 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 for a free replacement.

15

CONTROL SOLUTION TEST

One Touch™Normal Control Solution is

used instead of blood to tell you that the

meter and test strips are working togeth-

er properly. The control solution con-

tains a known amount of glucose that

reacts with a One Touch™Test Strip.

Do a control solution test:

• Before using your meter for the first

time.

• Each time you open a new vial of test

strips.

• At least once a week.

• Whenever you suspect that the meter

or test strips are not working properly.

• When your results do not reflect how

you feel.

• If you drop the meter.

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 vial. Discard the vial 90 days after first opening.

• The control solution 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.

• Store the glucose control solution at room temperatures below 30°C (86°F).

• Do not refrigerate or freeze.

WARNINGS

• Control solution is not to be used as a cleaning solution.

• Do not swallow or inject control solution or place drops into the eyes.

17

The control solution test follows the

normal test procedure, using control

solution instead of blood.

Step 1: Turn on the meter.

The code number, time, and date will

appear. The code number should match

the code number on the test strip vial.

Step 2: Insert a test strip.

When INSERT CODE 10 (for exam-

ple) STRIP appears, slide a test strip

into the test strip holder, notched end

first with the test spot facing up. Make

sure you push the test strip in all the

way until it stops.

22

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. However, in

the event the sampler is shared with

another person, always use a new

lancet and a new or disinfected cap.

• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt,

or debris in or on the lancets and the

Penlet Plus Sampler.

GETTING A DROP OF BLOOD Step 1: Insert a Lancet into the

Penlet™Plus Adjustable Blood Sampler.

To remove the Penlet™Plus Cap, twist

the cap counterclockwise. Insert a lancet

into the lancet holder. Push down firm-

ly until the lancet is secure in the hold-

er. Do not twist the lancet. For best

results and safety, use only LifeScan

lancets. (Note: To reduce the chance of

contamination and to prevent the cap

from rolling away, set it down on a flat

surface with the small hole pointing up.)

23

Step 2: Adjust Puncture Depth.

Twist the depth adjustment knob

located at the end of the Penlet™Plus

Sampler to desired puncture setting.

Smaller bumps are for shallower punc-

tures, while larger bumps are used for

deeper punctures.

Gently twist off the

lancet’s protective

disk. Make two full

turns to ensure that

the lancet separates

from the protective

disk.

Optional: For safe disposal, save protective

disk to cover lancet after use. See Step 6 option.

Replace the Penlet™Plus Cap. Turn the

cap clockwise until it is snug but not

overly tight.

24

Step 3: Cock the Penlet™Plus Sampler.

Slide the ejection/cocking control back

until you hear a click. If it does not click,

the Penlet Plus Sampler may have been

cocked when the lancet was inserted.

Step 4: Wash Your Hands.

Wash your hands with soap and warm

water. Warm water stimulates blood

flow to the fingers. Rinse and dry

hands thoroughly.

25

•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.

Step 5: Get a Drop of Blood.

Helpful tips:

•To increase blood flow to your finger-

tips, massage the hand from the wrist

to the fingertip two or three times

without touching the puncture site.

•Hang your arm down at your side for

10 to 15 seconds before pricking

your finger.

26

Gently massage your finger to obtain

the required blood volume. Proceed

with your blood glucose test (see

“Step-

by-Step Test Procedure”, page 29).

Hold the Penlet™Plus Sampler firmly

against the side of your finger with the

cap resting on your finger. (Greater

pressure of the device against the finger

will cause a deeper puncture.) Press the

release button.

27

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.

Caution: Always use caution when

removing the lancet.

Step 6: Remove the Lancet.

To remove the Penlet™Plus Cap, twist

the cap counterclockwise.

28

Return the ejection/cocking control to

the middle position. Replace the cap.

Point the lancet down and away from you.

Push forward on the ejection/cocking

control and eject the lancet directly into an

appropriate container for sharp objects.

CLEANING THE PENLET™PLUS

SAMPLER

•Clean the Penlet Plus Sampler with

soap and water as needed.

•To disinfect the Penlet Plus Sampler

and cap, prepare a disinfectant solu-

tion of one part household bleach to

10 parts water. Dampen a cloth in this

solution then wipe the Penlet Plus

Sampler thoroughly. Soak only the

cap for at least 30 minutes in the disin-

fectant solution. Rinse the Penlet Plus

Sampler and cap with water and dry

thoroughly.

STEP- BY- STEP TEST

PROCEDURE

Step 1: Turn on the meter.

Press the power button. A code number

to make sure.

Step 3: Apply blood to the test spot

Apply blood to the test spot so as to cover

it completely with a round drop. It is very

important that enough blood is applied.

Do not:

• Smear blood onto

the test spot.

• Apply a second

drop after the test

begins.

• Move the test strip

To keep your One Touch™Profile™

Blood Glucose Meter in good operating

condition, follow these simple rules:

• Keep the test strip holder and test area

clean.

• Keep your meter dry. If you acciden-

tally get water or other liquids inside

the meter, check the meter by doing

check strip tests (see page 12) and

control solution tests (see page 16) to

be sure it is operating properly. Avoid

exposing your meter to extremes in

temperature or humidity. For exam-

ple, do not leave it in your car.

• If you drop the meter make sure the

test strip holder is still securely in

place. Check the meter by doing

check strip and control solution tests

to be sure your meter is working

properly.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

The One Touch™Profile™Meter comes

with batteries already installed. When

the batteries need to be replaced, use

two AAA, 1.5 volt, alkaline batteries.

The batteries should last about one year

when testing up to 4 times a day. When

the battery symbol appears on the meter

display, the batteries are getting low.

The meter will still provide accurate test

results with low batteries, but they

should be replaced as soon as possible.

66

CM

When

BATTRY`

REPLACE NOW

appears flashing on

the display, the meter will no longer give

results and you must replace the batter-

ies before you can perform another test.

Dead batteries or battery removal will

not affect the information stored in the

meter memory. The time and date will

be saved in the meter for approximately

an hour without the batteries.

Step 1: Turn the meter over and locate

the battery compartment door.

Make sure the meter is turned off before

you remove the batteries.

Step 2: Remove the

battery compart-

ment door.

Turn the meter

over so that the

front is resting in the palm of your

hand. With your thumb, press upward

on the opening tab

of the battery

compartment door

and lift upward

until it releases

from the clasp.

67

Step 3: Remove the old batteries.

Remove the old

batteries by gently

slapping the meter

against the palm of

your hand. Never

tap the meter

against a hard surface.

Step 4: Insert the new AAA batteries

into the battery compartment.

Make sure that the

plus (+) and minus

(–) signs on the

batteries are cor-

rectly aligned.

To replace the battery compartment door,

insert the tab on the top of the door into

68

the slot in the top of the battery compart-

ment.

Press the opening tab upward toward the

top of the meter.

Lower the battery compartment door

until it snaps shut.

Check to see that your meter is working.
