Important Information• Dehydration: Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may

cause false low results. If you believe you are suffering fromdehydration, consult a healthcare professional immediately.

• Low glucose results: If your test result is lower than 3.9mmol/L or is shown as “LOW GLUCOSE”, it may meanhypoglycemia (low blood glucose). This may requireimmediate treatment according to your healthcareprofessional’s recommendations. Although this result couldbe due to a test error, it is safer to treat first and then repeatthe test.

• High glucose results: If your test result is greater than 10.0 mmol/L or is shown as “HIGH GLUCOSE”, it may meanhyperglycemia (high blood glucose). If you do not havesymptoms, first repeat the test. Your healthcare professionalcan work with you to decide what actions, if any, you shouldtake if you continue to get results higher than 10.0 mmol/L or ifyou have symptoms.

• Repeated unexpected results: If you continue to getunexpected 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 withyour blood glucose results and you have followed all instructionsin this booklet, call your healthcare professional. Never ignoresymptoms or make significant changes to your diabetes controlprogram without speaking to your healthcare professional.

• Hematocrit: A hematocrit (percentage of your blood that is redblood cells) that is either very high (above 55%) or very low(below 30%) can cause false results.

BEFORE TESTINGChecking the Meter Display

Each time you turn the meter on, thedisplay background will quickly changefrom dark to light and form the words“OneTouch UltraSmart”. This tells you thatthe system is performing several self-checks to confirm that the meter isworking properly. If, at any time duringthe life of the meter, these graphicsappear to be different, call the OneTouch®

Customer Care Line at 1 800 663-5521.

Setting the Meter

The OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter is set at thefactory to display results in the English languageusing millimoles per litre (mmol/L) as the unit ofmeasure. The time and date are also factory-set inEastern Standard Time. If you are using the meter forthe first time and simply wish to test, insert a teststrip into the test port and begin by coding the meter.If you wish to change the date, time, or language, seeMeter Set-up, pages 58–61. To customize your meter,see Custom Meter Set-up Sequence, pages 62–76.

UltraSmartaSmart

Note: It is important that the time of day iscorrect and that your medication set-up andmealtimes are set according to your personaldaily schedule. Otherwise, some FastFacts®

information will not be correct.


10

Coding the Meter

Code numbers are used to calibrate the OneTouch®

UltraSmart® Meter with the OneTouch® Ultra® TestStrips for accurate results. You must code the meterbefore using it for the first time and then every timeyou change to another vial of test strips.

Insert a OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strip toturn on the meter. Push it all the way inuntil it will go no further. “OneTouchUltraSmart” will appear on the displaybriefly. The first time you turn the meteron, three dashes [---] will appear, showingthat there is no code stored in thememory. Follow Step 4 to code the meter.

CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on thetest strip vial is essential to obtain accurate results. Each timeyou test, check to make sure the code numbers match.

Enter the Code Mode.STEP 1


The code number will appear on thedisplay. (After every 25 tests the meterwill display the code number and willprompt “Check Code Press OK”. Press theOK button if the code number is stillcorrect.)

Compare the code number on the meterdisplay with the code number on the teststrip vial. If the two code numbers match,you may begin testing. If they do notmatch, follow Step 4.

Match the Code Numbers.STEP 3

OK

See the Code Number.STEP 2

11

Note: The code number appears on the displaybriefly. If you were unable to change the code intime or entered a code number in error, pressthe Back button to return to Step 3.

(Example)

(Example)


Move up or down using the Arrow buttonto the code number that matches the

code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will flash on thedisplay for about three seconds, afterwhich the meter will prompt you to“Apply Blood”.

Code the Meter.STEP 4

12

Why you should do a controlsolution test:

• OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solutionis used to check that the meterand the test strips are workingtogether as a system and that youare performing the test correctly.

• It is very important that you dothis simple check routinely tomake sure you get an accurateresult.

Checking the System with Control Solution

(Example)


13

Before you begin:

• Use only OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution.

• Check the expiration date on the control solution vial. Record the discard date (date opened plus three months) on the vial 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/between 68° and 77°F) before testing with control solution (see Specifications section on page 125 for blood testing temperature ranges).

• Shake the vial, 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 (86°F). Do Not refrigerate.

WARNING:• Do Not swallow control solution; it is not for human

consumption.

• Do Not apply control solution to the skin or eyes as it maycause irritation.


14

When you should do a control solution test:

• To practice the test process instead of using blood.

• When you open a new vial of test strips.

• Once a week.

• Whenever you suspect that the meter or test stripsare not working properly.

• If you have had repeated unexpected bloodglucose results (as described on page v).

• After dropping the meter.

Note: Refer to additional information in theOneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution package.


15

To turn on the meter, insert a test strip,contact bars end first and facing up, intothe test port. Push it all the way in until itwill go no further.

“OneTouch UltraSmart” will appear brieflyon the display.

Then “Code 9 (Example), Check Code” isdisplayed. Be sure the meter and test stripcodes match. If they do not, code themeter correctly (see pages 10–12).

Insert a Test Strip into the Meter.STEP 1

(Example)

��

��

“Apply Blood” will appear on the display first.Use the Arrow button to select “ControlSolution”. The meter will automaticallyidentify the test as a control solution test inthe logbook.

Select “Control Solution”.STEP 2

There are three choices in test mode. Use the Arrow button to select one. Do Notapply a sample until your choice appears onthe display.

• “Apply Blood” for fingertip blood sample.• “Alternate Site” for forearm and palm

blood samples.• “Control Solution” for checking the system.


16

Note: If you do not apply the control solution within threeminutes, the meter will turn itself off. Remove the test strip andinsert it back into the test port to restart the test procedure.

Note: You must select “Control Solution” to distinguish controlsolution tests from blood glucose tests. Marked control solutiontests will not be included in your averages. Do Not use ControlSolution mode for testing blood.

Choosing the right sampling site at the right time:The OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter allows you tosample blood from your fingertip, forearm or palm.At times, results obtained at the forearm or palmmay be different from a fingertip measurement.Talk to your healthcare professional before youbegin using your forearm or palm for sampling.

If you are testing:

Routinely before meals Prior to or more than two hoursafter:

• a meal• a rapid-acting insulin injection

or insulin pump bolus• exercise

When your blood glucose ischanging rapidly, such as:

• within two hours after a meal• within two hours after a

rapid-acting insulin injectionor insulin pump bolus, or

• during or within two hoursafter exercise

When you are concerned aboutthe possibility of hypoglycemia(low blood sugar)

Use blood samplefrom your:

Fingertip,forearm, or

palm

Fingertip


22

CAUTION: Do Not test on your forearm or palm when:

• You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as within two hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulininjection or insulin pump bolus. Testing with a fingertipsample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reactionsooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.

• It has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-actinginsulin injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise, or you think your glucose level is changing rapidly.

• You are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction, such as when driving a car. This isespecially important if you suffer from hypoglycemiaunawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulinreaction).

Remember: Consult with your healthcareprofessional before using your forearm or palm for testing.


23

Preparing Your Sample Site

Before you test your blood glucose, washyour hands and forearm (if applicable)thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinseand dry thoroughly.

Choose a different puncture site each time you test.Repeated punctures in the same spot may causesoreness and calluses.

If bruising occurs at an alternate site or you havedifficulty getting a sample, consider sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to review thechoice of sites with your healthcare professional.

Lancing and Sampling from Your Fingertip

Remove the OneTouch®

UltraSoft® Cap by Twisting it Off.STEP 1

Preparing Your Sample Site

Before you test your blood glucose, washyour hands and forearm (if applicable)thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinseand dry thoroughly.


24

Insert a Sterile Lancet Into theSampler.

STEP 2

Insert the lancet into the holder and pushin firmly. Twist the protective disk until itseparates from the lancet and save thedisk for later use. Do Not twist the lancet.

If necessary, twist the depth adjustmentknob toward the smaller dots on theSampler for a shallow puncture or towardthe larger dots for a deeper puncture.


25

Cock the Sampler.STEP 5

Slide the ejection/cocking control backuntil it clicks. If it does not click, it mayhave been cocked when you inserted thelancet.

Puncture Your Finger.STEP 6

Hold the Sampler firmly against the sideof your finger. Press the release button.Remove the Sampler from your finger.

Note: Do Not use the OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap on your finger.


26

Get a Round Drop of Blood.STEP 7

Gently squeeze and/or massage yourfingertip until a round drop of blood atleast 1μL ( actual size) forms on yourfingertip. Do Not squeeze excessively onthe puncture site.

If the blood smears or runs, Do Notuse that sample. Dry the area and gentlysqueeze another drop of blood orpuncture a new site.


27

Lancing and Sampling From an Alternate Site

Sampling from your forearm or palm allowsyou to use your fingertips less often. Youmay find that obtaining a blood samplefrom an alternate site is less painful thanusing a fingertip. Getting a blood samplefrom your forearm or palm is different thangetting a sample from your fingertips.

Forearm samplingChoose a fleshy area of the forearm awayfrom bone, visible veins and hair.Sometimes there is less blood flow to theforearm than to the fingertips. To help youget a large enough drop of blood, you maygently massage or apply warmth to the siteto increase blood flow.

Palm samplingChoose a fleshy area on the palm belowyour thumb or pinky finger. Select a spotwith no visible veins and away from deeplines which may cause your blood sampleto smear.

COMPARING METER ANDLABORATORY RESULTSOneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter test results and laboratory testresults are both expressed in plasma-equivalent units. However,your meter result may differ somewhat from your laboratoryresult due to normal variation. Meter results can be affected byfactors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in thesame way. Your OneTouch® UltraSmart® Meter glucose valueshould agree with a laboratory measurement within ±20% mostof 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 Strippackage insert for typical accuracy and precision data and forimportant information on “Limitations of Procedure.”

To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratoryresults, follow these guidelines:

Before you go to the lab:

• Perform a control solution test to make sure the meter isworking properly.

• It is best to fast for at least eight hours before doingcomparison tests.

• Take your meter with you to the lab.


41

While at the lab:

• Make sure that the meter test and the lab test areperformed 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 between the results becauseblood glucose levels can change significantly over short periods,especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, takenmedication, or experienced stress.1 In addition, if you haveeaten recently, the blood glucose level from a fingerstick can beup to 3.9 mmol/L higher than blood drawn from a vein (venoussample) used for a lab test.2 Therefore, it is best to fast for eighthours before doing comparison tests. Factors such as theamount of red blood cells in the blood (a high or low hematocrit)or the loss of body fluid (severe dehydration) may also cause ameter result to be different from a laboratory result.
