IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• This meter and lancing device are for single patient
use only. Do Not share them with anyone else,
including family members! Do Not use on multiple
patients!
• After use and exposure to blood, all parts of this kit are
considered biohazardous. A used kit may potentially
transmit infectious diseases even after you have
performed cleaning and disinfection.

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.
The OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Blood Glucose Monitoring
System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home
and with their healthcare professionals in a clinical
setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes
control. The OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Blood Glucose
Monitoring System is not to be used for the diagnosis of
or screening of diabetes or for neonatal use.

7
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with the enzyme
FAD-GDH (see page106) 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 Solution and
Test Strips with the OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Meter.
Use of OneTouch Ultra®Plus Test Strips with meters
for which they are not intended may yield inaccurate
results.
BLUETOOTH®wireless technology
BLUETOOTH®wireless technology is used by
some smartphones and many other devices. Your
OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Meter uses BLUETOOTH®
wireless technology to pair and to send your glucose
results to compatible wireless devices.
The OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Meter is designed to work
with the OneTouchReveal™Mobile App and many other
diabetes applications on compatible wireless devices.

NOTE: Some diabetes management apps, including the
OneTouchReveal™Mobile App, may not be available in
your country. Visit www.onetouch.com/global to learn
if the OneTouchReveal™Mobile App is available in your
country.
Visit www.onetouch.com/global for information on
which wireless devices are compatible with your
OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Meter, and where/how to
download the software application on your compatible
wireless device.
When using the OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™System, we
suggest you pair your OneTouchUltra Plus Flex™Meter
with a compatible wireless device and track your results.
See page31 for pairing instructions.

Your meter is subject to and complies with applicable
Worldwide Radio regulations and guidelines. Generally,
these rules state two conditions specific to the operation
of the device:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesirable
operation.
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.
If you experience meter interference problems, try
moving your meter away from the source of the
interference. You can also move the electronic device or
its antenna to another location to solve the problem.

compatible wireless device, Do Not let anyone else use
your meter to test their blood glucose. This meter is for
single patient use only.
WARNING: In locations where cell phone use is not
permitted, such as hospitals, some healthcare professional
oces and airplanes, you should turn the BLUETOOTH®
