Before you begin
Before using this product to test your blood glucose (BG),
carefully read this Owner’s Booklet, and the inserts
that come with the OneTouch® Verio™ Test Strips and
OneTouch® Verio™ Control Solution.
Intended use
The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended to be used for the quantitative
measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole
blood drawn from the fingertips, forearm or palm.
Venous whole blood samples may be used by healthcare
professionals. The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro System is
intended for self-testing outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by
healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to
monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control. It should
not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or testing of
newborns, and is specifically indicated for use on the
finger, forearm or palm. The system is intended for single
user use.

7
The OneTouch® Verio™ Pro Blood Glucose Monitoring
System should not be used for:
• The diagnosis of diabetes.
• Testing newborns.
• Patients within 24 hours of receiving a D-xylose
absorption test as it may cause inaccurately high results.
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 BG level, displays the result, and
stores it in its memory.
