CAUTION: If you cannot test due to a problem with your
testing supplies, contact your healthcare professional or
LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862. Failure to test
could delay treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical
condition.
CAUTION: It is important to learn the correct blood application
technique (see pages 33–35). If you do not apply blood to the
test strip correctly you may get an inaccurately low or high test
result or an error message. LifeScan recommends that you
develop good technique by practicing with control solution
prior to using the OneTouch
