Intended use
The OneTouch
®
Select
™
Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used
for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole
blood. The OneTouch
®
Select
™
System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care
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 for testing newborns.
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 blood glucose level, displays the result, and stores it in its
memory.
