[. . . ] Basic Owner's Booklet Blood Glucose Monitoring System Simple Easy To Handle Proven Accuracy The OneTouch® Basic® Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use for quantitative determination of glucose in whole blood as an aid in monitoring effectiveness of diabetes management in the home and in clinical settings. It is not intended for use in the diagnosis of diabetes or for neonatal testing (newborns 0­4 weeks old). CAUTION: Before using any product to test your blood glucose (sugar), read all instructions and practice the test. Do all quality control checks as directed and consult with a diabetes healthcare professional. These recommendations apply to all blood glucose monitoring systems and are supported by the American Association of Diabetes Educators, the American Diabetes Association, the U. S. [. . . ] The two should be within 20% of each other. You may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication, or experienced stress. 6 In addition, if you have eaten 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. 44 USING THE METER MEMORY Your OneTouch® Basic® Meter automatically stores up to 75 test records.

Test results will appear on the meter display as follows: (Examples) Recalling Test Results Pressing the M button allows you to see each blood glucose, check strip, and control solution test stored in memory.
