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%.
*The results you get with the
OneTouch®UltraSmart®System can help you and your healthcare
professional monitor and adjust your treatment plan to gain
better control of your diabetes.
Your OneTouch®UltraSmart®System requires a small drop of
blood, at least 1μL (microlitre), and five seconds to provide you
with an accurate plasma-calibrated test result.
The OneTouch®UltraSmart®Meter also has a memory that allows
it to function as an “electronic logbook.” Now you can store vital
everyday information such as insulin and oral medication doses,
food intake, amount of exercise, illnesses, and other pertinent
data. You can use your OneTouch®UltraSmart®System simply to
test or to serve as a complete storehouse of information
regarding your diabetes treatment plan.
A warranty registration card is included with your OneTouch®
UltraSmart®System. Please complete it and mail it to us; if you
prefer to fill it out online, please visit www.OneTouch.ca.

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. The OneTouch®
UltraSmart®System should not be used for the diagnosis of
diabetes or testing of newborns.
The OneTouch®UltraSmart® Blood Glucose Monitoring System
provides the user with electronic logbook functions, which serve
to store such data as insulin and oral medication doses, food
intake, amount of exercise, health information such as illnesses,
and other pertinent data. The meter includes a data port that
enables the user to download logbook data to a personal computer.
CAUTION: Before using any product to test your blood glucose,
read all instructions and practice the test. Do all quality control
checks as directed and consult with a diabetes healthcare
professional. These recommendations apply to all blood
glucose
monitoring systems and are supported by the Diabetes
Educator Section of the Canadian Diabetes Association.
WARNING: Keep the meter and testing supplies away from
young children. Small items such as the battery door, battery,
test strips, lancets, protective disks on the lancets, stereo jack
cover and the control solution vial cap are choking hazards.

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 3.9
mmol/L 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. Although this result could
be due to a test error, it is safer to treat first and then repeat
the test.
•High glucose results: If your test result is greater than
10.0 mmol/L or is shown as “HIGH GLUCOSE”, it may mean
hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). If you do not have
symptoms, first repeat the test. Your healthcare professional
can work with you to decide what actions, if any, you should
take if you continue to get results higher than 10.0 mmol/L or if
you have symptoms.
• Repeated unexpected results: If you continue to get
unexpected results, check your system with control solution.
See Checking the System with Control Solution on page 12.
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with
your blood glucose results and you have followed all instructions
in this booklet, call your healthcare professional. Never ignore
symptoms or make significant changes to your diabetes control
program without speaking to your healthcare professional.
•Hematocrit: A hematocrit (percentage of your blood that is red
blood cells) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low
(below 30%) can cause false results.
