Before you begin
Before using this product to test your blood glucose,
carefully read this Owner’s Booklet, and the inserts
that come with the OneTouch® Verio® Test Strips and
OneTouch® Verio® Control Solution.
NOTE: You must charge the battery before using
the OneTouch® Verio®IQ Meter. See pages 78–85 for
instructions.
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 fingertip. The system is intended to be
used by a single patient and should not be shared.
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 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.

7
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.

Set the High/Low Patterns
The meter can let you know whenever your blood glucose
results develop a pattern below the Low limit or above the
Before Meal High limit you set in your meter. See pages
64–71 for more information.
NOTE:
• Before Meal tags are used to determine if a blood
glucose result should trigger a high pattern message.
Be sure to tag your results carefully (see pages 53–57).

17
Setting up your system 1
• Use care when adding tags to your blood glucose
results. Incorrect tagging can cause the information
displayed in high pattern messages to be inaccurate
and/or misinterpreted.
• The High/Low Patterns feature uses your meter’s time
and date settings to identify patterns. Be sure the time
and date are set correctly when using this feature.
m CAUTION
Be sure to talk to your healthcare professional about the
High and Low pattern limits that are right for you. When
selecting or changing your pattern limits, you should
consider factors such as your lifestyle and diabetes
therapy. Never make significant changes to your diabetes
care plan without consulting your healthcare professional.
