Manual — OneTouch Select Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Actions before performing the test

Before you begin using this device to determine blood glucose levels, carefully read this manual, as well as the package inserts for OneTouch® Select® test strips and the OneTouch® Select® control solution. Pay special attention to all warnings and precautions in this manual, marked with the symbol (!). Many people who are performing a blood test for the first time find it useful to practice first with the control solution. See Section 6, “Checking meter performance using the control solution.”

Intended use of the system

The OneTouch® Select® Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) levels in fresh whole capillary blood. The OneTouch® Select® system is for use outside the human body (for in vitro diagnostics) and helps monitor the effectiveness of diabetes treatment. The system may be used by people with diabetes at home for self-monitoring, as well as by healthcare personnel to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control measures in patients within healthcare facilities. This system is not intended for diagnosing diabetes or for measuring blood glucose in newborns.

Principle of the test

Glucose contained in a drop of blood undergoes an electrochemical reaction with the enzymes on the test strip, producing a weak electric current. The current varies in proportion to the glucose concentration in the blood sample. The meter measures the current, calculates the blood glucose level, displays the result on the screen, and stores it in memory.
