The ONE TOUCH®II System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only. (This
legally required statement simply means that the Meter should be used only
for testing purposes, and only outside the body.)
CAUTION: Before using any product to test your blood
glucose (sugar), read all instructions and practice the
test. Consult your diabetes healthcare professional for
advice regarding selection of equipment, testing times,
and procedures. These recommendations apply to all
blood glucose monitoring systems and are supported by
the Diabetes Educator section of the Canadian Diabetes
Association.

MEASUREMENT
CONVERSION. The
ONE TOUCH II Meter can
display units either in
mmol/L or mg/dL. To select
the unit measurement of
your choice, see Chapter 9,
Setting Date, Time, and
Other Special Functions for
instructions. All example
results in this Owner’s
Booklet appear in mmol/L.
Verify which unit of
measure you are using
before you begin testing.
TEST STRIP HOLDER. The
dark gray Test Strip Holder
holds the Test Strip in
place. The Meter reads the
color of the reacted Test
Strip through the small hole
in the Test Strip Holder. The
Test Strip Holder needs to
be removed from the Meter
for cleaning. (See the
instructions in Chapter 8,
Cleaning and Maintaining
the Meter.)
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 that must be
kept clean and lint-free for
accurate results. Be careful
not to scratch or damage
this coating. (See Chapter 8,
Cleaning and Maintaining
the Meter.)
DATA PORT. This port lets
you access the information
stored in the Meter’s
memory with a Data
Manager™from LifeScan,
or other data management

systems. (See Chapter 9,
Setting Date, Time, and
Other Special Functions.)
TEST STRIPS. ONE TOUCH®
Test Strips come in a
moisture-proof, light-
protected vial or foil package.
Because the Test Strips are
sensitive to moisture and
light, it’s important to keep
them sealed until you’re
ready to use them. DO NOT
put unwrapped Test Strips
in your Carry Case.

There are two ways to make
sure your ONE TOUCH®II
System is working properly.
The Check Strip is used to
check that the Meter is
operating properly.
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
performing the test
procedure correctly. These
checks are simple but very
important quality control
steps that you must perform
routinely to make sure you
get accurate results.
CAUTION: If your
Control Solution or
Check Strip results fall
outside of their expected
ranges, the system is not
functioning properly.
DO NOT use the system
to test your blood
glucose until you get
both a Control Solution
and a Check Strip
reading that falls within
the expected ranges.

3. CHECKING THE SYSTEM
LSI-97-051 OT2.bklt.C.Eg 10/8/97 3:10 PM Page 11 (1,1)

If either of these problems
occur, you should first
attempt to determine the
cause of the problem by
reviewing the instructions
in this Owner’s Booklet. If
you cannot resolve the
problem, contact the
LifeScan Technical Service
Department via the toll-free
numbers listed below:
Canada 1 800 663-5521
U.S.A. 1 800 227-8862
IMPORTANT: The
expected range* for the
ONE TOUCH®Normal
Glucose Control Solution —
Blue Formula is printed on
the Test Strip package.
* Note: The control range is
shown in two different units
of measure: mmol/L (used
in Canada and European
countries) and mg/dL (used
widely in the U.S.). This
range is for the Glucose
Control Solution only, it is
not intended as a recom-
mended range for your
blood glucose test results.
Checking your
ONE TOUCH II System
with Glucose Control
Solution
ONE TOUCH Normal
Glucose Control Solution —
Blue Formula should be
used instead of blood to
practice the test procedure
or to make sure your Meter
and Test Strips are
functioning properly.
Use only ONE TOUCH
Normal Glucose Control
Solution — Blue Formula.
Do not use ONE TOUCH
Glucose Control Solution
(clear formula) with the
ONE TOUCH II Meter. You
•12 •
LSI-97-051 OT2.bklt.C.Eg 10/8/97 3:10 PM Page 12 (1,1)

can purchase ONE TOUCH®
Normal Glucose Control
Solution — Blue Formula
from your Authorized
LifeScan Distributor or
retail pharmacy.
To do a Control Solution
test, follow the same
procedure you would if you
were testing your blood, (as
described in Chapter 6,
Testing Your Blood), using
Control Solution instead of
blood. Your Control Solution
results will appear on the
Meter display as follows:
c 5.8
contrl
(example)
Before you use the Meter to
test your blood glucose,
practice using the Control
Solution until you can do
three tests in a row that are
within the expected glucose
control range. Then you
will know that you have
mastered the test procedure.
Thereafter, you should test
the Meter with the Control
Solution:
u
✔At least once a week.
u
✔When you begin using a
new package of Test Strips.
u
✔Whenever you suspect
the Meter or Test Strips may
not be functioning properly;
e.g., whenever your results
are not consistent with how
you feel.

Checking the Meter with
the Check Strip
A plastic (purple and white)
Check Strip is included
with your ONE TOUCH®II
Meter. The Check Strip is
used to check that your
Meter is operating properly.
You must use the Check
Strip:
u
✔At least once a day.
u
✔After cleaning the meter.
u
✔Before adjusting your
medication based on your
Meter result.
u
✔Whenever your results
are not consistent with how
you feel or when you sus-
pect that your results are
not accurate.
u
✔Whenever this message
appears:
Anotok
redo A
Before doing a Check Strip
test, make sure the Test
Strip Holder and the Test
Area are clean, dry, and lint-
free. Check that the white
and purple surfaces of the
Check Strip are clean and
dry. For cleaning
information, see Cleaning
and Maintaining the Check
Strip in this chapter. Do
Check Strip tests at room
temperature—between 18°C
and 26°C (64°F–79°F).
