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 1 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 such

vital everyday information 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.

The makers guarantee that the OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter

shall be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period

of three years. This guarantee is valid from the date of purchase.

The guarantee extends only to the original purchaser and is not

transferable.

Important Information

• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false

low results. If you believe you are suffering from dehydration,

consult a healthcare professional immediately.

• Test results below 3.9 mmol/L mean low blood glucose

(hypoglycaemia). Test results greater than 13.3 mmol/L mean

high blood glucose (hyperglycaemia). If you get results below

3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L and do not have symptoms,

first repeat the test. If you have symptoms or continue to get

results that fall below 3.9 mmol/L or above 13.3 mmol/L, follow

the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.

• If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with

your blood glucose test results and you have followed all

instructions described in the OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Owner’s

Booklet, call your healthcare professional.

• A red blood cell count (haematocrit) that is 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 sent to the meter for measurement. Test results are “plasma-

calibrated.” This makes it easier for you and your diabetes-care team

to compare your meter results with laboratory tests. If you have been

using another type of meter–one that provides whole-blood

results–you may notice that your test results with the OneTouch^®

UltraSmart^™System are about 12% higher.

The OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Blood Glucose Monitoring System

consists of three main products: the OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter,

OneTouch^®Ultra^™Test Strips, 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 with your meter.

Your system includes:

• OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™

Meter

• 10 OneTouch^®UltraSoft^™

Sterile Lancets

• Owner’s Booklet

• 10 OneTouch^®Ultra^™

BEFORE TESTING

Checking the Display

Each time you turn the meter on, the display

background will quickly change from dark to

light and form the words “OneTouch

UltraSmart.” This tells you that the system is

performing several self-checks to confirm

that the meter is working properly. If, at any

time during the life of the meter, these

graphics appear to be different, call your

local LifeScan Customer Service office. See

back cover for contact information.

UltraSmart

Setting the Meter

The OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter is set at the

factory to display results in the English language

using millimole per litre (mmol/L) as the unit of

measure. The time and date are also factory-set. If

you are using the meter for the first time and simply

wish to test, insert a test strip into the test port and

begin by coding the meter. If you wish to change the

date, time, or language, see Meter Set-up, pages

54–57. To customize your meter, see Custom Meter

Set-up, pages 58–72.

Note: It is important that the time of day is correct and that

your medication set up and mealtimes are set according to

your personal daily schedule. Otherwise, some FastFacts^™

information will not be correct.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Coding the Meter

Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch^®

UltraSmart^™Meter with the OneTouch^®Ultra^™Test

Strips for accurate results. You must code the meter

before using it for the first time and then every time

you change to another vial of test strips. Each time

you test, check to be sure that the code number on

the meter display matches the code number on the

test strip vial.

CAUTION: Failure to code the meter correctly will cause

inaccurate test results.

STEP 1

Enter the Code Mode.

Insert a OneTouch^®Ultra^™Test Strip to

turn on the meter. Push it all the way in

until it will go no further. “OneTouch

UltraSmart” will appear on the display

briefly.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

STEP 2

See the Code Number.

The code number will appear on the

display. (After every 25 tests the meter

will display the correct code number and

will prompt “Check Code Press OK.”

Press the OK button

if the code

number is still correct.)

(Example)

STEP 3

Match the Code Numbers.

Compare the code number on the meter

display with the code number on the test

strip vial. If the two code numbers match,

you may begin testing. If they do not

match, follow Step 4. (The first time you

turn the meter on, three dashes [---] will

appear, showing that there is no code

stored in the memory.)

(Example)

Note: The code number appears on the display

briefly. If you were unable to change the code in

time or entered a code number in error, press

the Back button

to return to Step 3.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

STEP 4

Code the Meter.

Move up or down using the Arrow button

to the code number that matches the

code number on the test strip vial.

The new code number will flash on the

display for about three seconds, after

which the meter will prompt you to

“Apply Blood”.

(Example)

Checking the System

Note: Refer to additional information in the

OneTouch^®Ultra^™Control Solution package.

OneTouch^®Ultra^™Control Solution is used to check

that the meter and the test strips are working

together as a system and that you are performing the

test correctly.

OneTouch^®Ultra^™Control Solution

contains a measured amount of glucose

that reacts with OneTouch^®Ultra^™Test

Strips. Compare your control solution

test results with the range printed on

the test strip vial label. It is very

important that you do this simple

check routinely to make sure you get

accurate results.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Important Control Solution Test Information

• Use only OneTouch^®Ultra^™Control Solution.

• Check the expiration date on the control solution bottle. Record

the discard date (date opened plus three months) on the bottle

label. Do not use after expiration or discard date, whichever

comes first.

• Control solution, meter, and test strips should be at room

temperature between 20 and 25°C before testing.

• Shake the bottle, discard the first drop of control solution, and

wipe off the dispenser tip to ensure a good sample and an

accurate result.

• Store the control solution tightly closed at temperatures below

30°C. Do not refrigerate.

CAUTION: The control solution range printed on the test strip vial

is for OneTouch^®Ultra^™Control Solution only. It is not a

recommended range for your blood glucose level.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Before you use the OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter to

test your blood for the first time, practice the

procedure using control solution. When you can do

three tests in a row and obtain a result within the

expected range each time, you are performing the test

correctly and you are ready to test your blood.

When to do a control solution test:

• Once a week.

• When you open a new vial of test strips.

• Whenever you suspect that the meter or test

strips are not working properly.

• If your blood glucose test results are not

consistent with how you feel.

• After dropping the meter.

How to do a control solution test:

STEP 1 Insert Test Strip.

To turn on the meter, insert a test strip,

contact bars end first and facing up, into the

test port. Push it all the way in until it will

go no further.

“OneTouch UltraSmart” will appear briefly

on the display.

(Example)

Then “Code 9 (example), Check Code” is

displayed. Be sure the meter and test strip

codes match. If they do not, code the meter

correctly (see page 10).

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

STEP 2 Select “Control Solution.”

“Apply Blood” will appear on the display

first. Use the Arrow button to select

“Control Solution.” The meter will

automatically identify the test as a control

solution test in the logbook.

There are three choices in test mode. Use

the Arrow button to select one. Do not

apply a sample until your choice appears

on the display.

• “Apply Blood” for fingertip

blood sample

• “Alternate Site” for arm blood sample

• “Control Solution” for checking

the system

Note: You must select “Control Solution” to

distinguish control solution tests from blood

glucose tests. Marked control solution tests will

not be included in your averages. Do not use

the Control Solution mode for testing blood.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

STEP 3 Apply Control Solution.

To ensure an accurate result:

• Shake the bottle well

• Discard the first drop

• Wipe the dispenser tip

Hold the drop to the narrow channel in the

TOP EDGE of the test strip. When the

confirmation window is full, the meter will

begin to count down from 5 to 1.

Note: If you do not apply the control solution

within three minutes, the meter will turn itself off.

Remove the test strip and insert it back into the

test port to restart the test procedure.

STEP 4 Result Appears in 5 Seconds.

Compare the control solution result with

the range printed on the test strip vial.

The result should fall within this range.

(Example)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Comparing Control Solution Results

If test results fall outside the range printed on the

test strip vial, repeat the test. When using control

solution mode, very high or very low readings will

be displayed as a number rather than a “HIGH”

or “LOW” warning screen and stored in the

logbook as “Control Solution High” or “Control

Solution Low”. Out-of-range results may be

caused by one or more of the following:

• Error in performing the test.

• Failure to shake the control solution

bottle well.

• Expired or contaminated control solution.

• Meter, test strips, or control solution that

are too warm or too cold.

• Failure to discard the first drop of control

solution and wipe the dispenser tip clean.

• Improper meter coding.

• Test strip deterioration.

• Meter malfunction.

• Testing blood in Control Solution mode.

CAUTION: If you continue to get control solution test results

that fall outside of the range printed on the test strip vial, the

system may not be working properly. Do not use the meter.

Fingertip Blood Sampling

The OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™System requires a very

small blood drop to perform a test. You may obtain it

from a fingertip or arm. There are important

differences in the procedures for fingertip testing and

arm testing. See page 24 for information on obtaining

a blood sample from the arm. Choose a different

puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures

in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.

STEP 1

Position the Sampler.

Hold the OneTouch^®UltraSoft^™Sampler

firmly against the side of your finger.

Press the release button.

STEP 2 Massage the Fingertip.

Massaging the fingertip gently will help

you obtain a round drop of blood. Do not

squeeze excessively on the puncture site.

The blood sample must be at least one

microlitre (1 µL) in volume ( actual size) or

you may get an error message (see page

50) or an inaccurate test result. Do not

smear the blood sample. Proceed with your

blood glucose test.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Arm Blood Sampling (“Alternate Site”)

The arm has fewer nerve endings than the fingertip

so you may find that obtaining a blood sample from

the arm may be much less painful than using the

fingertip. The technique for arm sampling is different

from fingertip sampling. Also there are differences

between arm samples and fingertip samples that you

should understand.

Important Information About Arm Testing

• Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained

using samples taken from your arm may differ significantly from

fingertip samples.

• The conditions in which these differences are more likely to

occur are when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as

following a meal, an insulin dose, or associated with

physical exercise.

• When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show

these changes more quickly than arm samples.

• When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample

may identify a hypoglycaemic (low blood sugar) level sooner than

a test with an arm sample.

• Use arm samples only for testing prior to, or more than two hours

after, meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise.

• Testing performed within two hours after meals, insulin doses, or

physical exercise, or whenever you feel that your glucose levels

may be changing rapidly, should be done from the fingertip.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Important Information About Arm Testing (continued)

• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern

about hypoglycaemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car,

particularly if you suffer from hypoglycaemic unawareness (lack of

symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as arm testing may fail

to detect hypoglycaemia.

What you should do:

• Use arm or fingertip samples for testing prior to, or more than

two hours after, meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise.

• Routine testing before meals can be done either at the fingertip or

the arm.

• Consult your healthcare professional before you begin using the

arm for testing.

Install the OneTouch^®UltraClear^™Cap.

STEP 1

To aid in obtaining a blood sample from

the arm, replace the regular sampler cap

with the OneTouch^®UltraClear^™cap. If

necessary, set the sampler for a deeper

puncture.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

STEP 2 Choose the Puncture Site.

Select a soft, fleshy area on your arm that

is away from bone and free of visible veins

and hair. Wash and dry the area.

STEP 3 Massage the Area.

To increase blood flow to the puncture site,

massage the area gently. For individuals

who experience difficulty in getting

sufficient blood for a test, rubbing the area

more vigorously or applying heat briefly

may be helpful.

STEP 4 Position the Sampler.

Press and hold the sampler against the

arm for a few seconds. Press the release

button.

STEP 5 Allow Blood Drop to Form.

Continue holding the sampler against the

skin for a few seconds until the blood drop

forms. Allow enough blood to form under

the cap until you have a blood sample that

is sufficient to fill the confirmation window

of the test strip ( actual size). If you must

massage the area to obtain more blood, do

not squeeze the site excessively.

Note: Blood is applied to the test strip in the same

manner as described on page 30. However, you

may find it more convenient to hold the arm still

and bring the meter and test strip to the blood

sample.

If bruising occurs, you may choose to lance a

fingertip instead. If you are having difficulty obtaining

blood from the arm, call your local LifeScan Customer

Service office for assistance. See back cover for

contact information.

STEP 2 Select Test Mode.

Note: There are three choices in test mode. For blood testing

use the Arrow button

to select:

• “Apply Blood” for fingertip blood sample or

• “Alternate Site” for arm blood sample

Do not use the Control Solution mode when testing blood.

• “Control Solution” is for checking the system

“Apply Blood” will appear on the display

first. If you are testing with a fingertip

blood sample, proceed to Step 3.

If you are testing with a blood sample

from the arm, use the Arrow button to

scroll to “Alternate Site.”

Before you test with blood, make sure “Apply Blood” or

“Alternate Site” is displayed on the screen. Correct test mode

selection is important to ensure all blood and control solution

tests are properly included or excluded from averages. Failure

to select the correct test mode may cause blood averages to

be incorrect.

STEP 3 Apply Sample.

Obtain a round drop of blood using the

OneTouch^®UltraSoft^™Adjustable Blood

Sampler. The blood sample must be at

least 1 µL in volume ( actual size) to fill

the confirmation window.

Touch and hold the drop of blood to the

narrow channel in the top edge of the

test strip.

Correct

Incorrect

DO NOT:

• Apply sample to the front or back of the test strip.

• Push your finger against the test strip.

• Apply a smeared sample.

Hold the blood drop to the top edge of the

test strip until the confirmation window is

full before the meter begins to count

down.

Good

Sample

Too Small

If the confirmation window does not fill

completely before the meter begins to

count down, do not add more blood to the

test strip; discard the test strip and retest.

If you have trouble filling the test strip,

contact your local LifeScan Customer

Service office. See back cover for contact

information.

If the confirmation window is not full, you

may get an error message or an inaccurate

test result.

Note: If you do not apply a blood sample within

three minutes, the meter will turn off automatically.

Remove the test strip and then insert it back into

the meter to turn the meter back on.

STEP 4 Accurate Results in Just 5 Seconds.

Your blood glucose test result will appear

after the meter counts down from 5 to 1.

The test results are automatically stored in

the meter logbook (memory). You may now:

• Use the Arrow button to compare

results (see “Additional Feature” which

follows); or

Plasma-Calibrated Result

(Example)

• Add comments to your result; or

• Remove the test strip to turn off the meter.

Note: If “Comment? Press OK” appears at the

bottom of the display, your test result is outside

the range of 5.0–7.2 mmol/L or a personal glucose

range you set (see pages 58–72, Custom Meter

Set-up). To add a comment to the test result, see

pages 73–77, Your Meter Logbook.

Additional Feature

After you complete a blood glucose test, you

can compare the result with your last test

and your average for this time of day by

pressing the Arrow button

Used Lancet Disposal

CAUTION: It is important to discard the used lancet carefully to

avoid injury or illness. Follow proper precautions in accordance

with local regulations when disposing of all materials.

STEP 1 Remove the Sampler Cap.

Twist the cap counterclockwise. (Optional:

Replace the protective disk on the used

lancet by placing it on a hard surface and

pushing the lancet tip into the disk.)

STEP 2 Eject the Lancet.

Point the sampler down and away. Push

forward on the ejection/cocking control

and eject the lancet directly into a

container for sharp objects. Used test

strips can go into the same container.

Return the ejection/cocking control to the

middle position. Replace the cap.

Special Messages

The OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter

WARNING

displays results between 1.1 mmol/L

and 33.3 mmol/L. If your test result is

lower than 1.1 mmol/L, “LOW GLUCOSE”

will appear on the meter display. This

indicates severe hypoglycaemia (low

blood glucose). You should immediately

treat this condition as recommended by

your healthcare professional.

Below 1.1 mmol/L

If your blood glucose test result is above

33.3 mmol/L, “HIGH GLUCOSE” will

appear on the meter display. This

indicates severe hyperglycaemia (high

blood glucose). You should recheck your

blood glucose level. If “HIGH GLUCOSE”

again appears on the display, call your

doctor immediately.

WARNING

Above 33.3 mmol/L

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When your blood glucose test result is

outside the range of 5.0–7.2 mmol/L or

the personal glucose range you set in

custom meter set-up, the meter will

prompt you to add a comment.

(Example)

When your blood glucose test result is in

the range of 13.3 mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L

“Check Ketones” will appear on the meter

display. This message does not mean

that the system detected ketones but

that testing with a ketone test strip may

be advisable. Consult your healthcare

professional about when and how to test

for ketones. “Comment? Press OK” will

also appear.

(Example)

When your blood glucose result is

between 1.1 mmol/L and 3.9 mmol/L,

“Do you need a snack?” will appear on

the display with the test result, reminding

you that a meal or snack may be

necessary.

COMPARING METER AND

LABORATORY RESULTS

OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter test results and laboratory test

results are both expressed in plasma-equivalent units. However,

your meter result may differ somewhat from your laboratory result

due to normal variation. Meter results can be affected by factors

and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same

way. Your OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™Meter glucose value should

agree with a laboratory measurement within 20% most of the

time under normal conditions. A result within that range is

considered accurate when testing with the OneTouch^®UltraSmart^™

Meter. However, results can differ by more than 20% in some

situations. See the OneTouch^®Ultra^™Test Strip package insert for

typical accuracy and precision data and for important information

on “Limitations of Procedure.”

To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory

results, follow these guidelines:

Before you go to the lab:

• Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter is

working properly.

• It is best to fast for at least eight hours before doing

comparison tests.

• Take your meter with you to the lab.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

While at the lab:

• Make sure that the meter test and the lab test are

performed within 15 minutes of each other.

• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.

• Use only fresh capillary blood.

You may still have a variation from the result because blood

glucose levels can change significantly over short periods,

especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken

medication, or experienced stress.¹In addition, if you have eaten

recently, the blood glucose level from a fingerstick can be up to

3.9 mmol/L higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample)

used for a lab test.²Therefore, it is best to fast for eight hours

before doing comparison tests. Factors such as the amount of

red blood cells in the blood (a high or low haematocrit) or the

loss of body fluid (severe dehydration) may also cause a meter

result to be different from a laboratory result.
