Before you begin
Before using this product to test your blood glucose, carefully read this booklet
and the inserts that come with the OneTouch® Ultra®Test Strips and
OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution. Take note of warnings and cautions through-
out this booklet, which are identified with . Many people find it helpful to

See page 42 in the Control solution testing section.
Intended use
The OneTouch® Ultra® 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used
for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole
blood. The OneTouch® Ultra® 2 System is intended for use outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by healthcare
professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of
diabetes control. It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for
testing newborns.
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and
a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current changes with
the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current,
calculates your blood glucose level, displays the result, and stores it in
its memory.
