Taking A Test; Testing Your Blood Glucose - OneTouch VerioIQ Manual De Usuario

Testing your blood glucose

NOTE: Many people find it helpful to practice testing with
control solution before testing with blood for the first time.
See Testing with control solution, pages 47–54.
Preparing for a test
Have these things ready when you test:
OneTouch Verio IQ® Meter
OneTouch Verio® Test Strips
Lancing device
Sterile lancets
• Use only OneTouch Verio® Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step to
code your OneTouch Verio IQ® System is required.
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the same
temperature before you test.
• Do Not test if there is condensation (water build-up) on
your meter. Move your meter and test strips to a cool, dry
spot and wait for the meter surface to dry before testing.
• Tightly close the cap on the vial immediately after use to
avoid contamination and damage.
• Store unused test strips only in their original vial.
• 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.
• Do Not return the used test strip to the vial after performing
a test.
