Onetouch Verio Blood Glucose Test Strips 50 strips

Onetouch Verio Blood Glucose Test Strips is a medical device designed to be used in conjunction with OneTouch Verio blood glucose meters. It has specialised reagents to give an accurate blood sugar reading.

It only requires a minimal amount of blood, as little as 0.4 μl for proper measurement. The strips have a shelf life of six months once the vial is opened. After that time, their use is discouraged because they may give erroneous measurements.

It is indicated to facilitate the reading of blood glucose levels in people with diabetes, regardless of their age.

To use these test strips correctly, they must be used in conjunction with any of the OneTouch Verio blood glucose meters or monitoring systems. Here are the steps to follow to use the strip correctly and get an accurate measurement:

• Firstly, the strips should be stored in the vial and the vial should only be opened when a strip is to be removed.
• Once a strip has been removed, it should be placed in the meter using the port provided with the meter. Insert it with the gold side facing the meter and the silver side tabs facing outwards or towards the person being measured.
• Wait until the meter turns on and displays the signal to apply blood.
• Place the blood sample over the channel opening.
• Hold the meter at an angle to guide the drop of blood through the channel until it turns red and fills completely.
• Once the channel is red, the meter should give the result after a few seconds.

Blood should not be applied to another part of the strip as this would render the sample ineffective and another sample would have to be used.

There are no contraindications for this product. Always ensure that the vial is closed when the strip is removed. Never place a used strip in the vial as this will damage the other strips. The strips should not be swallowed, nor should the drying agent contained in the vial.
