Product catalog summary

Important Safety Information
Ensure the OneTouch® Ultra® meter is functioning correctly by verifying the display, unit of measure (mg/dL), date, time, and code number match the test strip vial each time it is turned on. Incorrect settings can lead to misinterpretation of blood glucose results.

Introduction
The OneTouch® Ultra® System is a blood glucose monitoring system designed to help manage diabetes by providing accurate blood glucose readings. Maintaining blood glucose levels close to normal is crucial to reduce the risk of complications.

System Components
The system includes the OneTouch® Ultra® Blood Glucose Meter, Test Strips, Control Solution, and an Adjustable Blood Sampler, all designed to work together for accurate results.

Using the Meter
Before testing, ensure the meter is coded correctly to match the test strip vial. The meter displays results in mg/dL, the standard unit of measure in the United States.

Testing Procedure
Follow the step-by-step procedure for testing blood glucose levels, including preparing the blood sampler, obtaining a blood sample, and applying it to the test strip.

Important Test Strip Information
Store test strips in a cool, dry place and use them immediately after removal from the vial. Do not use expired or damaged test strips.

Warnings and Precautions
Severe dehydration, incorrect unit of measure, and improper coding can lead to inaccurate results. Always consult a healthcare professional if unexpected results occur.

Customer Support
LifeScan offers 24-hour customer service and online resources for additional support and information about diabetes care.

Specifications and Warnings
The OneTouch® Ultra® System is designed for blood glucose testing. Ensure the code numbers on the meter and test strip match. If 'mg/dL' does not appear with the symbol, contact LifeScan Customer Service.

Control Solution Testing
Control solution tests should be performed to practice the test process, when opening a new vial of test strips, weekly, if the meter or strips are suspected to be faulty, after unexpected results, or after dropping the meter. Use only OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution and ensure it is at room temperature. Discard the first drop and wipe the tip before testing.

Blood Testing
Use the OneTouch® Ultra® Meter, test strips, lancing device, and sterile lancets. Never share lancets or the sampler. Wash hands and puncture site before testing.

Fingertip and Forearm Sampling
For fingertip sampling, use the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap. For forearm sampling, use the OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap. Forearm sampling may be less painful but may not reflect rapid changes in blood glucose levels.

Step-by-Step Test Procedure
1. Insert the test strip into the meter.
2. Apply a blood sample to the test strip.
3. Wait for the result, which appears in 5 seconds.
4. Dispose of used test strips and lancets properly.

Blood Glucose Testing and Alerts
If your blood glucose test result is above 600 mg/dL, the meter will display 'h1', indicating potential severe hyperglycemia. Recheck your blood glucose level, and if 'h1' appears again, contact your healthcare professional immediately.

Using the Meter Memory
The OneTouch® Ultra® Meter stores up to 150 test results with date and time, providing 14- and 30-day averages. Enter memory mode by pressing the button, and review averages and individual test results.

Downloading Test Results
To transfer data to a computer, use OneTouch® Diabetes Management Software and Interface Cable. Ensure the meter is off before connecting.

Comparing Meter and Laboratory Results
Meter results should generally agree with lab results within ±20%. Perform a control solution test before lab visits, fast for eight hours, and ensure tests are within 15 minutes of each other.

Meter Set-up
To set up the meter, start with it off and follow steps to set time, date, and unit of measure (mg/dL). Ensure settings are correct after battery replacement.

Caring for Your OneTouch® Ultra® System
Keep the meter clean and store it in its case. Clean the sampler with soap and water, and disinfect with a bleach solution.

Display Messages and Problem-Solving
The meter displays various messages to indicate status and errors. Ensure code numbers match between the meter and test strip vial for accurate results.

Specifications
Key specifications include a result range of 20 to 600 mg/dL, a sample size of 1 microliter, and a test time of 5 seconds. The device uses a glucose oxidase biosensor and is powered by a replaceable 3.0 V lithium battery.

Product Safety and Guarantee
The OneTouch® Ultra® system complies with UL 60601-1 standards and is guaranteed to be free from defects for three years from the date of purchase.

Additional Information
The document includes an index for quick reference to topics such as blood sampling, meter maintenance, and data downloading. It also provides target glucose ranges for people without diabetes.
