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. The system is intended to be used by a
single patient and should not be used for testing multiple
patients.
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 is
not to be used for the diagnosis of or screening of diabetes
or for neonatal use.
Not for use on critically ill patients, patients in shock,
dehydrated patients or hyperosmolar patients.

Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with the enzyme FAD-GDH
(refer to page 104) 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.
