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.

ONE TOUCH™TEST STRIPS
When blood is applied to the white test
spot on the test strip, compounds on the
test strip react with the blood to form a
blue color. The meter reads the color to
determine the blood glucose level.

IMPORTANT TEST STRIP INFORMATION
•One Touch™Test Strips are sensitive to heat and light. Keep them sealed in the origi-
nal vial and store in a cool, dry place below 30ºC (86ºF). Do not refrigerate or place
in direct heat or sunlight.
• DO NOT use One Touch Test Strips beyond the expiration date on the vial.
• DO NOT use One Touch Test Strips with plasma or serum samples, as the results
will not be accurate. The strips are intended for use with fresh whole blood or
One Touch™Normal Control Solution.
• When you open a new vial of test strips, record the date vial first opened. Discard
unused test strips four months after first opening the vial.
• DO NOT use One Touch Test Strips that are bent, torn, cut, or changed in any way.
• Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
• Replace the test strip vial cap immediately after removing a test strip from the vial.
Close cap tightly.
• Do not transfer the test strips from the original vial to any other container.
• Do not carry unwrapped test strips in your meter case.
• DO NOT use bleach, or products containing bleach, near the test strips.
• For reliable results, use only One Touch Test Strips made by LifeScan.

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.
The code number is now set for the vial
of test strips you are using, and the
meter will remember this code number
until you change it. You are now ready
to do a test.

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.

ment.
Step 3: Remove the check strip.
When the message APPLY SAMPLE
appears on the display, remove the
check strip from the test strip holder.
Note: This is the only time you should
remove a strip during a test.

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.

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.

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.
