Dear OneTouch® UltraSmart® System Owner: You have chosen one of the best blood glucose monitoring systems available. This booklet has important information you must know about the OneTouch® UltraSmart® Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Read it carefully. Blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in diabetes control. A long-term study showed that keeping blood glucose levels close to normal can reduce the risk of diabetes complications by up to 60%.
PAGE 4
INTENDED USE: The OneTouch® UltraSmart® Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose in fresh capillary whole blood. The OneTouch® UltraSmart® System is intended for use outside the body (for in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
PAGE 5
Important Information • Dehydration: Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering from dehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately. • Low glucose results: If your test result is lower than 70 mg/dL or is shown as “LOW GLUCOSE”, it may mean hypoglycemia (low blood glucose). This may require immediate treatment according to your healthcare professional’s recommendations.

Top Edge Apply a drop of blood to the narrow channel here in the top edge of the test strip. Confirmation Window Check here to confirm if enough blood has been applied.
PAGE 18
Important Test Strip Information • Store test strip vials in a cool, dry place below 86˚F (30˚C). Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Do Not refrigerate. • Store test strips in their original vial only. To avoid damage or contamination, Do Not transfer test strips to any other place. • After removing a test strip from the vial, replace the vial cap immediately and close it tightly. • Use each test strip immediately after removing it from the vial.
PAGE 19
BEFORE TESTING Checking the Meter Display 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 self-checks to confirm that the meter is working properly. If, at any time during the life of the meter, these graphics appear to be different, call LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862.
PAGE 20
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. CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to obtain accurate results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match. STEP 1 Enter the Code Mode.
PAGE 21
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.) OK (Example) STEP 3 Match the Code Numbers. Compare the code number on the meter display with the code number on the test strip vial. If the two code numbers match, you may begin testing. If they do not match, follow Step 4.
PAGE 22
STEP 4 Code the Meter. Move up or down using the Arrow button to the code number that matches the code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will flash on the display for about three seconds, after which the meter will prompt you to “Apply Blood”.
PAGE 23
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 six months) on the vial label. Do Not use after expiration or discard date, whichever comes first. • Control solution, meter, and test strips should be at room temperature (between 68° and 77°F/between 20° and 25°C) before testing with control solution (see Specifications section on page 125 for blood testing temperature ranges).
PAGE 24
When you should do a control solution test: • To practice the test process instead of using blood. • When you open a new vial of test strips. • Once a week. • 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 25
STEP 1 Insert a Test Strip into the Meter. 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 on the display. (Example) T hen “Code 9 (Example), Check Code” is displayed. Be sure the meter and test strip codes match. If they do not, code the meter correctly (see pages 10–12). STEP 2 Select “Control Solution”.
PAGE 26
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 27
CONFIRMATION WINDOW WARNING: If mg/dL does not appear with the Control Solution result, call LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862. ➧ The control solution will be drawn into the narrow (Example) channel. When the confirmation window is The control solution test full, the meter will count result will appear on the down from 5 to 1. display. STEP 4 Compare Control Solution Result to the Control Range Printed on the TEST STRIP VIAL.
PAGE 28
If the results are not within the control range printed on the test strip vial, the meter and strips may not be working properly. Repeat the control solution test. When using Control Solution mode, very high or very low readings will be displayed as a number rather than a “HIGH” or “LOW” warning screen. Control solution out-of-range results may be due to: • Incorrect unit of measure. • Error in performing the test. • Failure to discard the first drop of control solution and wipe the dispenser tip clean.
PAGE 29
TESTING YOUR BLOOD Read this section and the test strip package insert carefully before testing. Make sure you have all items needed to test. • OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter • OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips • OneTouch® UltraSoft® Adjustable Blood Sampler • OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap (for forearm and palm sampling) • OneTouch® UltraSoft® Sterile Lancets CAUTION: It is important to learn the correct blood application technique (see pages 33–35).
PAGE 30
Preparing the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Adjustable Blood Sampler (Sampler) OneTouch® UltraSoft® Adjustable Blood Sampler Depth Adjustment Knob Lancet with Protective Disk Ejection/Cocking Control Release Button OneTouch® UltraClear ® Cap (for Alternate Site Sampling) Puncture Settings Depth Indicator Lancet Point Protective Disk OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap CAUTION: To reduce the chance of infection: • Never share a lancet or the Sampler with anyone. • Always use a new, sterile lancet.
PAGE 31
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 32
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. • It has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise, or you think your glucose level is changing rapidly.
PAGE 33
Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. If bruising occurs at an alternate site or you have difficulty getting a sample, consider sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to review the choice of sites with your healthcare professional. Preparing Your Sample Site Before you test your blood glucose, wash your hands and forearm (if applicable) thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
PAGE 34
STEP 2 Insert a Sterile Lancet Into the Sampler. Insert the lancet into the holder and push in firmly. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet and save the disk for later use. Do Not twist the lancet. STEP 3 Replace the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap by Twisting it Back On Until it is Snug. STEP 4 Adjust the Depth Setting. If necessary, twist the depth adjustment knob toward the smaller dots on the Sampler for a shallow puncture or toward the larger dots for a deeper puncture.
PAGE 35
STEP 5 Cock the Sampler. Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it clicks. If it does not click, it may have been cocked when you inserted the lancet. STEP 6 Puncture Your Finger. Hold the Sampler firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button. Remove the Sampler from your finger. Note: Do Not use the OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap on your finger.
PAGE 36
STEP 7 Get a Round Drop of Blood. Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood at least 1µL ( sample 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 37
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. Forearm sampling Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips.
PAGE 38
Blue cap for fingertip sampling only OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap is used for forearm and palm sampling only. Replace the blue OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap with the OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap. STEP 1 Remove the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap by Twisting it Off. STEP 2 Insert a Sterile Lancet Into the Sampler. Insert the lancet into the holder and push in firmly. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet and save the disk for later use. Do Not twist the lancet.
PAGE 39
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. STEP 5 Cock the Sampler. Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it clicks. If it does not click, it may have been cocked when you inserted the lancet.
PAGE 40
STEP 6 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. Maintain pressure until the drop of blood is at least 1µL ( sample size). STEP 7 Remove the Sampler. Carefully lift the sampler away from your skin. Do Not smear the blood sample.
PAGE 41
Step-by-Step Test Procedure STEP 1 Insert Test Strip. 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. The meter will turn on automatically. “OneTouch UltraSmart” will appear briefly on the display. Then the code number will appear. Be sure the meter and test strip codes match. If they do not, code the meter correctly (see pages 10-12 for Coding the Meter).
PAGE 42
STEP 2 Select Test Mode. Note: There are three choices in test mode. For blood testing, use the Arrow button to select: • “Apply Blood” for fingertip blood sample • “Alternate Site” for forearm and palm blood samples Do Not use Control Solution mode when testing blood. • “Control Solution” is for checking the system Apply Blood “Apply Blood” will appear on the display first. If you are testing with a fingertip blood sample, proceed to Step 3.
PAGE 43
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 44
STEP 4 Apply Sample. Obtain a round drop of blood using the Sampler. The blood sample must be at least 1µL in volume ( sample 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. • Do Not apply a smeared sample.
PAGE 45
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 LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800-227-8862 for assistance. Good Sample Sample Too Small If the confirmation window is not full, you may get an error message or an inaccurate test result. Note: If you do not apply a blood sample within three minutes, the meter will turn off automatically.
PAGE 46
WARNING: If mg/dL does not appear with the test result, call LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800-227-8862. CAUTION: If you test at the low end of the operating range (43°F/6°C) and your glucose is high (over 180 mg/dL), 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 47
Discarding Used Test Strips and Lancets CAUTION: It is important to discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid unintended lancet stick injuries. Used test strips and lancets may be considered biohazardous waste in your area. Be sure to follow your local regulations for proper disposal. STEP 1 Remove the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap from the Sampler. Twist the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap counterclockwise.

Special Messages WARNING LOW GLUCOSE Below 20 mg/dL WARNING HIGH GLUCOSE Above 600 mg/dL The OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter displays results between 20 mg/dL and 600 mg/dL. If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL, “LOW GLUCOSE” will appear on the meter display. This may mean severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) that requires immediate treatment according to your healthcare professional’s recommendations.
PAGE 49
Sep 14-02 8:30 am When your blood glucose test result is outside the range of 90–130 mg/dL or the personal glucose range you set in Custom Meter Set-up Sequence, the meter will prompt you to add a comment. 160 mg/dL Comment? Press OK (Example) When your blood glucose test result is in the range of 240 mg/dL to 600 mg/dL, “Check Ketones” will appear on the meter display. This message does not mean that the system detected ketones but that testing with a ketone test strip may be advisable.
PAGE 50
COMPARING METER AND LABORATORY RESULTS OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter test results and laboratory test results are both expressed in plasma-equivalent units. However, your meter result may differ somewhat from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can be affected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way. Your OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter glucose value should agree with a laboratory measurement within ±20% most of the time under normal conditions.
PAGE 51
While at the lab: • Make sure that the meter test and the lab test are performed within 15 minutes of each other. • Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample. • Use only fresh capillary blood. You may still have a variation between the results because blood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication, or experienced stress.
PAGE 52
CARING FOR YOUR SYSTEM Maintenance Your OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter does not require special maintenance or cleaning. Take care to avoid getting dirt, dust, blood, control solution, or liquids inside the meter through the test port or data port. LifeScan recommends that you store the meter in its carrying case after each use. A cloth dampened with water and mild detergent can be used to wipe down the outside of the meter. Your OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter is a precision instrument.
PAGE 53
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. The meter will alert you when the power is getting low by displaying two different messages: 1. When this message appears on the display, the batteries are low and should be replaced as soon as possible.
