Before you begin
Before using this product to test your blood glucose, carefully read this User Guide and the inserts that come with the OneTouch® Ultra®
Test Strips and OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution. Take note of warnings and cautions throughout this User Guide, which are identied
with . Many people nd it helpful to practice the test with control solution before testing with blood for the rst time. See Section 6,
Control solution testing.
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 health care professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the eectiveness 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.
NOTE: If you have any questions about your OneTouch® Ultra® 2 Blood Glucose Monitoring System, contact LifeScan Customer Service at
1 800 227-8862 (7 days a week, 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Eastern Time).

results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match.
Insert a test strip to turn on the meter
Remove a test strip from its vial. With clean, dry hands, you may touch the test strip anywhere on
its surface. Do Not bend, cut or modify the test strips in any way. Use each test strip immediately
after removing it from the vial. Insert the test strip into the test port as shown, with the three
contact bars facing you. Push the test strip in as far as it will go.
After the black start-up screen appears, the meter will display the code from your last
test. If a ashing “– –” appears instead of a code number, such as when you are rst
using the meter, follow the instructions in step 3 to change to a numerical code.

The meter is now ready to perform a blood glucose test.
NOTE:
• If the APPLY BLOOD screen appears before you are sure the codes match, remove the test strip, and re-start from step 1.
• If you change APPLY BLOOD to APPLY CONTROL by mistake, press to change it back to APPLY BLOOD.
