Intended use
The OneTouch® Verio® 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® 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® Blood Glucose Monitoring System
is not to be used for the diagnosis of or screening of
diabetes or for neonatal use. The OneTouch® Verio® Blood
Glucose Monitoring System is 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 112) 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 and calculates your
blood glucose level. It then displays the blood glucose
result and stores it in the meter memory.
