Taking a test
Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
Discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid 
unintended lancet stick injuries. Used lancets and test 
strips may be considered biohazardous waste in your 
area. Be sure to follow your healthcare professional's 
recommendations or local regulations for proper disposal. 
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after 
handling the meter, test strips, lancing device and cap. 
Testing with control solution
Control solution testing precautions
OneTouchVerio® Control Solution is used to check that the 
meter and test strips are working together properly and 
that the test is performing correctly. (Control solution is 
available separately.)
NOTE: 
• Use only OneTouchVerio® Control Solution with your 
OneTouchVerioFlex™ Meter. 
• When you first open a new vial of control solution, 
record the discard date on the vial label. Refer to the 
control solution insert or vial label for instructions on 
determining the discard date.
