 CAUTION:
• If you cannot test due to a problem with your testing
supplies, contact your healthcare professional or
customer service at 1800 225544 or 022-30845544.
Failure to test could delay treatment decisions and
lead to a serious medical condition.
• The test strip vial contains drying agents that are
harmful if inhaled or swallowed and may cause skin
or eye irritation.
 CAUTION: To reduce the chance of infection:
• Make sure to wash the lancing site with soap and water
before sampling.
• Never share a lancet or a lancing device with anyone.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet — lancets are for single
use only. Attempted reuse of this single use device
will affect safety, performance and effectiveness, and
expose user to unnecessary risks.
• Keep your meter and lancing device clean. See Caring
for your system in Section D.
NOTE: (continued)
• Do Not open the test strip vial until you are ready to
remove a test strip and perform a test. Use the test strip
immediately after removing it from the vial.
• OneTouch® Select™ Test Strips are for single use only. Never
re-use a test strip that had either blood or control solution
applied to it.
Getting your meter and test strip ready for testing
Have these things ready when you test your
blood glucose level:
• OneTouch® SelectSimple™ Meter
• OneTouch® Select™ Test Strips
• Lancing device
• Sterile lancets with protective covers
• OneTouch® Select™ Control Solution
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouch® Select™ Test Strips (Code 25 only) with your
OneTouch® SelectSimple™ Meter.
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the same
temperature before you test.
• Testing must be done within the operating temperature range
10–44°C. For the most accurate results, try to test as close to
room temperature 20–25°C as you can.
• Tightly close the cap on the vial immediately after use to avoid
contamination and damage.
• Store unused test strips only in their original vial.
• Write the discard date (6 months after first opening the vial)
on the vial label when you first open it.
• Do Not return the used test strip to the vial after performing
a test.
