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.

v
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.

THE OneTouch® UltraSmart® SYSTEM
The OneTouch® UltraSmart® System uses the latest blood glucose
monitoring technology. It measures the glucose content of a blood
sample by means of an electrical current produced in the test strip
and is measured by the meter. Test results are “plasma-calibrated.”
This makes it easier for you and your diabetes-care team to compare
your meter results with laboratory tests.
The OneTouch® UltraSmart® Blood Glucose Monitoring System
consists of three main products: the OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter,
OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips (Sold Separately), and OneTouch®
Ultra® Control Solution. These products have been designed, tested,
and proven to work together as a system to produce accurate blood
glucose test results. Use no other test strips or control solution
other than the OneTouch® Ultra® brand with your meter.
Your system kit includes:
• OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter
• OneTouch® Ultra® Control
Solution

OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips
The OneTouch® UltraSmart® System measures the
amount of glucose in whole blood. Blood is applied to
the Top Edge of the OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strip and
is automatically drawn into the reaction cell where the
reaction takes place.
See pages 19–39, Testing Your Blood, for
complete instructions.
Contact Bars
Insert this end of the test strip,
contact bars facing up, into the
meter. Push it all the way in until
it will go no further.
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.

WARNING: Do Not swallow test strips. The test strip vial
may contain drying agents that are harmful if swallowed
and may cause skin or eye irritation.

Important Test Strip Information
• Store test strip vials in a cool, dry place below 30˚C (86˚F).
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.
• Do Not use test strips from any vial that is damaged or left
open to air.
• Write the discard date (3 months after first opening the vial)
on the vial label when you first open it. Discard remaining
OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips after the discard date.
• Do Not use test strips beyond the expiration (printed on the
package) or discard date, whichever comes first, because
they may cause inaccurate results.
• Avoid getting dirt, food or liquids on the test strip. With clean,
dry hands you may touch the test strip anywhere on its surface.
• Do Not bend, cut, or alter OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips in any way.
• OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips are for single use only. Never
reuse a test strip that has had either blood or control
solution applied to it.
• Apply only OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution or a blood
sample to the test strip.
• Refer to additional information in the OneTouch® Ultra® Test
Strip package.
