time. See page58.

OneTouch Ultra® Plus Test Strips
Lancing device
Sterile lancets
 3 Taking a test
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouch Ultra® Plus Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step
to code your OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™ System is
required.
• Testing must be done within operating temperature
range (6-44°C).
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the
same temperature before you test.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 5°C and
3C.
