Page 19: Onetouch ® Ultra ® Test Strips
The OneTouch UltraSmart System measures the ® ® amount of glucose in whole blood. Blood is applied to the Top Edge of the OneTouch Ultra Test Strip and ® ® is automatically drawn into the reaction cell where the reaction takes place.
Page 20 Test Strips are for single use only. Never ® ® reuse a test strip that has had either blood or control solution applied to it. • Apply only OneTouch Ultra Control Solution or a blood ® ® sample to the test strip. • Refer to additional information in the OneTouch Ultra Test ® ® Strip package.
Page 21: Before Testing
Each time you turn the meter on, the display background will quickly change from dark to light and form the words “OneTouch UltraSmart”. This tells you that the system is performing several UltraSmart self-checks to confirm that the meter is working properly.
Page 22: Coding The Meter
Coding the Meter Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch ® UltraSmart Meter with the OneTouch Ultra Test ® ® ® Strips for accurate results. You must code the meter before using it for the first time and then every time you change to another vial of test strips.
Page 23 STEP 2 See the Code Number. The code number will appear on the display. (After every 25 tests the meter will display the code number and will prompt “Check Code Press OK”. Press the OK button if the code number is still correct.) (Example) STEP 3 Match the Code Numbers.
Page 24: Checking The System With Control Solution
“Apply Blood”. (Example) Checking the System with Control Solution Why you should do a control solution test: • OneTouch Ultra Control Solution ® ® is used to check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly.
Page 25 Before you begin: • Use only OneTouch Ultra Control Solution. ® ® • Check the expiration date on the control solution vial. Record the discard date (date opened plus three months) on the vial label. Do Not use after expiration or discard date, whichever comes first.
Page 26 • Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly. • If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose results (as described on page v). • After dropping the meter. Note: Refer to additional information in the OneTouch Ultra Control Solution package. ® ®...
Page 27 To turn on the meter, insert a test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. Push it all the way in until it will go no further. “OneTouch UltraSmart” will appear briefly (Example) on the display. Then “Code 9 (Example), Check Code”...
Page 28 Note: You must select “Control Solution” to distinguish control solution tests from blood glucose tests. Marked control solution tests will not be included in your averages. Do Not use Control Solution mode for testing blood. STEP 3 Apply Control Solution to the Test Strip. To ensure an accurate control solution test, shake the vial, discard the first drop and wipe the dispenser tip before you begin.

Page 33 Choosing the right sampling site at the right time: The OneTouch UltraSmart Meter allows you to ® ® sample blood from your fingertip, forearm or palm. At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be different from a fingertip measurement. Talk to your healthcare professional before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.
Page 34 CAUTION: Do Not test on your forearm or palm when: • You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as within two hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus. Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.
Page 35: Lancing And Sampling From Your Fingertip
Before you test your blood glucose, wash your hands and forearm (if applicable) your hands and forearm (if applicable) thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

Page 38 STEP 7 Get a Round Drop of Blood. Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood at least 1µL ( actual size) forms on your fingertip. Do Not squeeze excessively on the puncture site. If the blood smears or runs, Do Not use that sample. Dry the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or puncture a new site.
Page 39: Lancing And Sampling From An Alternate Site
Lancing and Sampling From an Alternate Site Sampling from your forearm or palm allows you to use your fingertips less often. You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternate site is less painful than using a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is different than getting a sample from your fingertips.
Page 40 OneTouch UltraClear ® ® is used for forearm and palm sampling only. Replace the blue OneTouch UltraSoft ® ® Cap with the OneTouch ® UltraClear Cap. ® Blue cap for fingertip sampling only STEP 1 Remove the OneTouch ® UltraSoft Cap by Twisting it Off.
Page 41 STEP 3 Twist On the OneTouch ® UltraClear Cap Until it is Snug. ® STEP 4 Adjust the Depth Setting. You may have to adjust the Sampler to a deeper setting to get a large enough drop of blood from your forearm or palm. Twist the depth adjustment knob toward the larger dots to increase the depth.
Page 42 Puncture Your Forearm or Palm. Press and hold the Sampler against your forearm or palm for a few seconds, then press the release button. Keep holding the Sampler and OneTouch UltraClear Cap against your ® ® skin until a round drop of blood forms under the cap.

Page 45 STEP 3 Prepare to Apply Sample. The drop of blood should be next to the top edge of the test strip. Blood should not be applied to the flat surface of the test strip. When applying a drop of blood from your forearm or palm, keep your forearm or palm steady and bring the top edge of the test strip to the drop of blood with your other hand.
Page 46 STEP 4 Apply Sample. Obtain a round drop of blood using the Sampler. The blood sample must be at least 1µL in volume ( actual size) to fill the confirmation window. Touch and hold the drop of blood to the narrow channel in the top edge of the test strip. • Do Not apply sample to the front or back of the test strip. • Do Not push your finger against the test strip. •...
Page 47 If the confirmation window does not fill completely before the meter begins to count down, Do Not add more blood to the test strip; discard the test strip and retest. If you have trouble filling the test strip, call the OneTouch Customer Care Line at ® Sample Good 1 800 663-5521 for assistance.
Page 48 WARNING: If mmol/L does not appear with the test result, call the OneTouch Customer Care Line at 1 800 663-5521. ® CAUTION: If you test at the low end of the operating range (6°C/43°F) and your glucose is high (over 10.0 mmol/L), the reading on your meter may be lower than your actual glucose. In this situation, repeat the test in a warmer environment with a new test strip as soon as possible.

Page 55: Batteries
Batteries Your OneTouch UltraSmart Meter comes with two ® ® AAA alkaline batteries already installed. The batteries will provide you with enough power to perform up to 540 tests, depending on backlight use. When replacing the batteries, use only two AAA alkaline batteries.
Page 56 To replace the batteries, first turn off the meter. Turn the meter over and locate the battery compartment. 1. Open the battery compartment by pressing the tab to the left and lifting the battery compartment cover to remove it. 2. Remove the old batteries by pulling the black ribbon upward.
Page 57 Note: • Replacing the batteries does not affect the electronic logbook. However, the date and time settings may need to be updated. • The first time you turn on the meter after replacing the batteries, the meter will go into the Set-up mode (see pages 58–61). At this time, you may update the date and time settings.
