OneTouch Select Plus Blood Glucose Test Strips 25s

The test strips use glucose oxidase electrochemical biosensor technology. They require a minimum fresh capillary whole-blood sample of approximately 1.0µL and provide a blood glucose result in approximately five seconds when used correctly with a compatible meter.

Meter compatibility must be confirmed before procurement, supply or use. Regional OneTouch product information identifies compatibility with OneTouch Select Plus, OneTouch Select Plus Flex and OneTouch Select Plus Simple meters. Product availability and compatible meter models may vary by market, so the Malaysian carton, vial and meter instructions should always take precedence.

OneTouch Select Plus Test Strips Product Information

Compatible OneTouch Meters

OneTouch Select Plus test strips form part of the OneTouch Select Plus family of blood glucose monitoring systems.

Official regional product information identifies use with the following meters where marketed:

• OneTouch Select Plus meter
• OneTouch Select Plus Flex meter
• OneTouch Select Plus Simple meter

Exact compatibility may differ between countries and product generations. Before opening or supplying the pack, compare the test-strip name with the name printed in the meter’s user guide.

Do not use these strips with:

• OneTouch Verio meters
• OneTouch Ultra meters
• OneTouch Select strips without the word “Plus”
• Another brand of blood glucose meter
• Any meter that does not expressly identify OneTouch Select Plus strips as compatible

Using an incompatible test strip may prevent the meter from operating or may produce an inaccurate blood glucose result.

What Are OneTouch Select Plus Test Strips Used For?

OneTouch Select Plus test strips are used with a compatible meter for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood obtained from a fingertip.

The system is intended to support self-monitoring of blood glucose by people with diabetes and to help healthcare professionals assess the effectiveness of an individual diabetes-management programme.

Blood glucose monitoring may help assess glucose patterns associated with:

• Meals and carbohydrate intake
• Insulin and other diabetes medicines
• Physical activity
• Illness or infection
• Stress
• Fasting
• Changes in the patient’s treatment plan

The appropriate testing frequency and individual target range should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional.

How OneTouch Select Plus Test Strips Work

Glucose in the blood sample reacts with glucose oxidase and other reagents contained in the test strip.

The chemical reaction produces a small electrical current. The strength of the current changes according to the amount of glucose in the blood sample.

The compatible OneTouch meter measures the electrical current, calculates the glucose concentration and displays a plasma-equivalent blood glucose result.

How to Use OneTouch Select Plus Test Strips

1. Read the test-strip instructions and compatible meter user guide before testing.
2. Wash the hands and fingertip with soap and warm water.
3. Rinse and dry the hands completely.
4. Remove one test strip from the vial using clean, dry hands.
5. Close the vial cap tightly immediately after removing the strip.
6. Insert the test strip into the compatible meter with the contact bars facing the correct direction shown in the meter guide.
7. Wait until the meter displays the symbol indicating that it is ready for a sample.
8. Use a new sterile lancet to obtain a round blood drop from the side of the fingertip.
9. Bring the narrow channel on the edge of the test strip to the edge of the blood drop.
10. Allow the strip to draw blood into the confirmation window.
11. Ensure the confirmation window fills completely.
12. Wait approximately five seconds for the meter to display the result.
13. Remove and safely discard the used strip and lancet.

Do not place blood on top of the test strip. Blood should be drawn into the narrow channel at the strip’s edge.

Do not add more blood after testing has started. If the confirmation window does not fill completely, discard the strip and repeat the test using a new strip.

Blood Sample Requirements

• Use fresh capillary whole blood from a fingertip.
• Use a minimum sample volume of approximately 1.0µL.
• Do not use serum or plasma.
• Do not use a smeared, dried or contaminated blood drop.
• Do not apply blood before the meter indicates that it is ready.
• Do not move or remove the strip while the meter is performing the test.

The referenced OneTouch Select Plus systems are not indicated for alternate-site testing. Use a fingertip sample unless the current Malaysian instructions expressly state otherwise.

Test-Strip Handling Precautions

• Test strips are for single use only.
• Never reuse a strip after blood or control solution has been applied.
• Do not use test strips after the expiry date printed on the vial.
• Do not use strips from a damaged vial or a vial that has been left open.
• Do not use a bent, cut, dirty, wet or damaged strip.
• Do not transfer test strips into another container.
• Keep unused strips in their original vial.
• Close the vial tightly immediately after removing a strip.
• Use the strip promptly after removing it, especially in Malaysia’s humid environment.
• Handle strips only with clean and dry hands.
• Do not get food, liquids, lotion or dirt on the strip.
• Do not return a used strip to the vial.

Expiry and Vial-Opening Instructions

The expiry date is printed on the test-strip vial and carton. Do not use the strips after that date.

Opening and discard-date instructions may differ between regional presentations. Record the vial-opening date or discard date when instructed by the Malaysian vial label or package insert.

Do not publish a universal three-month, four-month or six-month post-opening period unless that exact period is printed on the supplied Malaysian product.

Expiry varies by supplied batch.

Storage Instructions

• Store test strips between 5°C and 30°C unless the Malaysian packaging states otherwise.
• Keep the vial in a cool and dry location.
• Protect from heat, direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
• Do not refrigerate or freeze the test strips.
• Do not store them in a bathroom or vehicle.
• Keep the vial tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep the test strips in their original vial only.
• Allow the meter and strips to reach approximately the same temperature before testing.
• Do not test when condensation is present on the meter or test strips.
• Keep the vial and drying agent away from children.

The drying agent inside the vial may be harmful if swallowed or inhaled and may irritate the skin or eyes. Do not ingest the vial contents.

When to Perform a Control-Solution Test

A OneTouch Select Plus control-solution test helps confirm that the meter and test strips are working together correctly and that the testing procedure is being performed properly.

Perform a control-solution test:

• When opening a new vial of test strips
• If the meter or strips may not be working correctly
• After repeated unexpected blood glucose results
• If the meter has been dropped or damaged
• If the vial may have been exposed to incorrect storage conditions

Use only the OneTouch Select Plus control solution specified for the compatible system.

Compare the result with the control-solution range printed on the test-strip vial. That range is used to check system performance and is not a recommended blood glucose target.

If repeated control results remain outside the printed range, stop using the meter, strips and control solution until the issue has been resolved.

When a Result Appears Incorrect

If a result appears unusually high, unusually low or inconsistent with the user’s symptoms:

1. Wash and dry the hands thoroughly.
2. Repeat the test using a new strip.
3. Check the vial and strip expiry date.
4. Confirm that the vial was stored correctly and tightly closed.
5. Confirm that the correct OneTouch Select Plus strip is being used with the meter.
6. Check that the blood sample filled the confirmation window completely.
7. Perform a control-solution test where appropriate.
8. Contact a healthcare professional if the repeated result remains concerning.

Never ignore symptoms or make a major change to insulin, diabetes medicine, diet or another part of the treatment programme based solely on an unexpected meter result.

Factors That May Affect Results

Results may be affected by:

• An insufficient blood sample
• An incompletely filled confirmation window
• Expired or damaged strips
• Incorrect strip storage
• A vial that has been left open
• Moisture or condensation
• Dirty or wet hands
• Using the wrong meter or test-strip model
• Testing outside the permitted operating conditions
• A haematocrit level below 30% or above 55%
• Severe dehydration
• Shock or a hyperosmolar state
• Abnormally high concentrations of uric acid or other reducing substances
• Oxygen therapy in certain patients
• Pralidoxime, also known as PAM, in the blood sample

Healthcare professionals should review the complete test-strip instructions for all analytical limitations and interfering substances.

Haematocrit Considerations

Haematocrit is the percentage of blood made up of red blood cells.

OneTouch Select Plus test strips support a haematocrit range of approximately 30%–55%. Values outside this range may affect the result:

• Haematocrit below 30% may produce a falsely high reading.
• Haematocrit above 55% may produce a falsely low reading.

Patients who have anaemia, polycythaemia or another condition affecting red blood cells should discuss meter suitability with their healthcare professional.

Not Intended for Diabetes Diagnosis

OneTouch Select Plus test strips support blood glucose monitoring. They are not intended to diagnose or screen for diabetes.

A diabetes diagnosis requires appropriate clinical assessment and laboratory testing interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional.

The system is also not intended for neonatal testing.

Patients for Whom the System May Be Unsuitable

The referenced system should not be relied upon for testing:

• Newborn infants
• Critically ill patients
• Patients in shock
• Severely dehydrated patients
• Patients in a hyperosmolar state
• Patients undergoing treatment involving pralidoxime where interference is suspected

Hospital or critical-care glucose testing should follow appropriate institutional laboratory and point-of-care protocols.

Understanding High and Low Results

The compatible meter reports results between 20mg/dL and 600mg/dL.

A reading below the meter’s measurable range may be shown as a low warning. A result above the measurable range may be shown as a high warning.

Very low or very high readings may require urgent treatment. Follow the individual emergency plan provided by the patient’s healthcare professional.

Repeat an unexpected result using a new strip, but do not delay urgent care when serious symptoms are present.

When to Seek Urgent Medical Attention

Seek urgent medical help when an abnormal blood glucose result occurs with symptoms such as:

• Confusion or loss of consciousness
• Seizure
• Severe weakness
• Inability to swallow or safely take glucose
• Persistent vomiting
• Severe dehydration
• Rapid or unusually deep breathing
• Severe abdominal pain
• Chest pain or significant breathing difficulty
• A repeated extremely high or low meter warning

Hygiene and Safe Disposal

• Wash and dry hands before and after testing.
• Use a new sterile lancet for every test.
• Never share a lancet or lancing device.
• The meter and lancing device should be treated as single-patient equipment unless specifically designed and managed under professional infection-control procedures.
• Discard each test strip after one use.
• Dispose of used lancets in an appropriate sharps container.
• Follow local requirements for disposal of blood-contaminated test strips.
