Description and Use
The ONE TOUCH® BASIC® Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use. This statement means that the system should be used only for testing purposes and only outside of the human body. The ONE TOUCH® BASIC® Meter and Test Strips are used for monitoring whole blood glucose for people who have been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. This device is not to be used for the diagnosis of diabetes.
The ONE TOUCH BASIC Blood Glucose Monitoring System meas- ures the amount of glucose (sugar) in whole blood. When blood is applied to the Test Strip, compounds on the Test Strip react with the blood and a blue color is formed. The intensity of the color is then measured and read by the ONE TOUCH BASIC Meter.
