Before using this product to test your blood glucose,
carefully read this Owner’s Booklet, and the inserts that

Intended use
The OneTouch® Verio®IQ 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 fingertips. Venous whole blood samples
may be used by healthcare professionals.
The OneTouch® Verio®IQ Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home
and healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid
to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
The OneTouch® Verio®IQ Blood Glucose Monitoring System
should not be used for the diagnosis of or screening of
diabetes or for neonatal use.

8
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals
in the test strip and a small electric current is produced.
The strength of this current changes with the amount of
glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the
current, calculates your blood glucose level, displays the
blood glucose result, and stores it in its memory.
