Description and Use
The ONE TOUCH ® II Blood
Glucose Monitoring System
is intended for in vitro diag-
nostic use. This statement
means that the system should
be used only for testing
purposes and only outside
of the human body. The
ONE TOUCH
® II Meter and
ONE TOUCH ® Test Strips are
used for monitoring whole
blood glucose for people
who have been diagnosed
with diabetes mellitus by
conventional means. This
device is not to be used for
the diagnosis of diabetes.
The ONE TOUCH II Blood
Glucose Monitoring System is
used to measure 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 II Meter.
