About Testing Yourself or Others

WARNING
• DO NOT CHANGE YOUR THERAPY BASED ON A TEST RESULT THAT DOES NOT MATCH HOW YOU FEEL
OR IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR TEST RESULT COULD BE INCORRECT.
• It is always a good idea to have a back-up testing method available. Failure to test could cause a
delay in therapy decisions and lead to a serious medical condition. Examples of back-up testing
methods include a back-up meter or testing by a laboratory. Ask your healthcare professional or
pharmacist about other possible back-up methods.
• If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel and you have followed the instructions in
this Owner's Booklet, follow your healthcare professional's instructions, or contact your healthcare
professional.
WARNING
• During normal testing, any blood glucose meter or lancing device may come in contact with blood.
All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious diseases from
bloodborne pathogens, even after you have performed cleaning and disinfecting.
• The meter and lancing device should never be used by more than one person. Do not share the
meter and lancing device with anyone, including family members, due to the risk of infection from
bloodborne pathogens.
• Cleaning and disinfecting the meter and lancing device destroys most, but not necessarily all,
bloodborne pathogens.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is providing testing assistance to the user, the
meter and lancing device should be cleaned and disinfected prior to use by the second person.
• Disinfect the meter and lancing device before allowing anyone else to handle them. Do not allow
anyone else to test with the meter or lancing device.
• It is important to keep the meter and lancing device clean and disinfected. For instructions on how to
clean and disinfect the meter and lancing device, see Chapter 6, Meter and Lancing Device Cleaning
and Disinfecting.
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strips.
