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.

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.
