Thanks for choosing OneTouch®!

System is one of the latest product innovations from
OneTouch®.
Your OneTouchVerioFlex™ Meter is designed to connect

blood glucose and manage your diabetes.
This Owner's Booklet offers a complete explanation of how
to use your new meter and testing supplies. It reviews the

only. Do Not share them with anyone else, including

Intended use
The OneTouchVerioFlex™ Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole
blood samples drawn from the fingertip. The system is
intended to be used by a single patient and should not be
shared.
The OneTouchVerioFlex™ Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home
and with their healthcare professionals in a clinical setting
as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
The OneTouchVerioFlex™ Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is not to be used for the diagnosis of or screening
of diabetes or for neonatal use.

7
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with the enzyme
FAD-GDH (see page99) in the test strip and a small
electric current is produced. The strength of this current
calculates your blood glucose level. It then displays the
blood glucose result and stores it in the meter memory.
Use only OneTouchVerio® Control Solution and Test
Strips with the OneTouchVerioFlex™ Meter.
BLUETOOTH® SMART wireless
technology
BLUETOOTH® SMART wireless technology is used by
some smartphones and many other devices. Your
OneTouchVerioFlex™ Meter uses BLUETOOTH® SMART
wireless technology to pair and to send your glucose
results to compatible wireless devices.
The OneTouchVerioFlex™ Meter is designed to work
with the OneTouchReveal® Mobile App and many other
diabetes applications on compatible wireless devices.
NOTE: Some diabetes management apps, including the
OneTouchReveal® Mobile App, may not be available in
your country. Visit www.LifeScan.co.uk to learn if the
OneTouchReveal® Mobile App is available in your country.
