Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin Before you begin Before using this product to test your blood glucose, carefully read this Owner's Booklet, and the inserts that come with the OneTouch Ultra® Plus Test Strips, OneTouch Ultra® Plus Control Solutions and the OneTouch® Delica® Lancing Device. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: • This meter and lancing device are for single patient use only.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin Intended use The OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertip. The system is intended to be used by a single patient and should not be shared.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin Test principle Glucose in the blood sample mixes with the enzyme FAD-GDH (see page 100) in the test strip and a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current calculates your blood glucose level. It then displays the blood glucose result and stores it in the meter memory. Use only OneTouch Ultra® Plus Control Solutions and Test Strips with the OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex™ Meter.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin Visit www.OneTouch.com for information on which wireless devices are compatible with your OneTouch Verio Flex™ Meter, and where/how to download the software application on your compatible wireless device. When using the OneTouch Verio Flex™ System, we suggest you pair your OneTouch Verio Flex™ Meter with a compatible wireless device and track your results. See page 29 for pairing instructions.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin These guidelines help ensure that your meter will not affect the operation of other nearby electronic devices. Additionally, other electronic devices should not affect the use of your meter. WARNING: The BLUETOOTH® SMART feature on your meter sends test results to your compatible wireless device. To prevent other people's results from being sent to your compatible wireless device, Do Not let anyone else use your meter to test their blood glucose.

Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin 9 Detailed information about your system Comparing meter results to laboratory results Results obtained from the OneTouch Ultra Plus Flex™ Meter and laboratory tests are reported in plasmaequivalent units. However, your meter result may differ from your lab result due to normal variation.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin Detailed information about your system 9 Meter results can be affected by factors that do not affect lab results in the same way. Specific factors that may cause your meter result to vary from your lab result may include: • You have eaten recently. This can cause a result from fingertip testing to be up to 3.9 mmol/L higher than a lab test using blood drawn from a vein.1 • Your hematocrit is above 60% or below 20%. • You are severely dehydrated.
Yellow= 5mm Red=7mm margin 9 Detailed information about your system Guidelines for obtaining an accurate meter to lab comparison Before going to the lab: • Perform a control solution test to make sure your meter is working properly. • Do Not eat for at least 8 hours before you test your blood. • Take your meter and testing supplies with you to the lab. 05983201A_OT_UPF_OB_mmolL_Inside_R2.
