Taking a test
• Do Not re-use a test strip that had blood or control solution
applied to it. Test strips are for single use only.
• With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip
anywhere on its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test
strip in any way.
• When you first open a vial of test strips, record the discard
date on the label. Refer to the test strip insert or vial label
for instructions on determining the discard date.
NOTE: Comparing your blood glucose test results taken with
this meter to your results taken from a different meter is not
recommended. Results may differ between meters and are not
a useful measure of whether your meter is working properly.
To check your meter accuracy, you should periodically
compare your meter results to those obtained from a lab.
Refer to page 103 for more information.
Acetaminophen, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and uric acid
(when occurring in blood at high normal or at high therapeutic
concentrations) do not significantly affect results. However,
abnormally high concentrations in blood may cause inaccurately
low results. Tolazamide levels up to 7.5 mg/dL (3x the level found
at high therapeutic levels) do not affect the blood glucose results.
Important: If another person assists you with testing, the
meter, lancing device and caps should always be cleaned
and disinfected prior to use by that person. See Care and
maintenance, page 76.
m CAUTION
• The OneTouch Verio IQ® Blood Glucose Monitoring System should
not be used for patients within 24 hours of receiving a D-xylose
absorption test as it may cause inaccurately high results.
