[. . . ] For whole blood glucose testing with the OneTouch® Ultra® Family of Meters and InDuo® Systems. The OneTouch® Ultra® Family of Meters have OneTouch® Ultra® as part of their brand name (e. g. OneTouch® UltraSmart®, etc. ). IMPORTANT: Please read this information and your OneTouch® Ultra® Family of Meters and InDuo® Systems Owner's Booklet before using OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips. Do not use your OneTouch® Ultra® Brand Test Strips if your vial is open or damaged in any way as this could lead to error messages or blood glucose values that read higher than the actual value. [. . . ] Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match. Next, the apply blood symbol will appear. Using the lancing device, obtain a blood sample large enough to fill the confirmation window ( actual size). When the flashing apply blood symbol appears on the display, touch and hold the drop of blood to the narrow channel in the top edge of the test strip. · DO NOT apply sample to the front or back of the test strip. · DO NOT press the test strip too firmly against your puncture site (fingertip, forearm, or palm). 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. 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 the confirmation window is not full, you may get an error message or an inaccurate test result. If you have trouble filling the test strip, contact LifeScan Customer Service for assistance. Step 3: Accurate results in just 5 seconds. Your blood glucose test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1. Blood glucose test results are automatically stored in the meter memory. Turn the meter off by removing the test strip. WARNING: Check that the unit of measure is set correctly (mg/dL). If the unit of measure is not correct, call 1 800 227-8862. For detailed information on the blood sample collection and coding your meter, please refer to the owner's booklet that came with your system. Test Procedure for Blood Glucose Measurement Materials provided: OneTouch® Ultra ® Test Strips. Materials required but not provided: your meter, owner's booklet, lancing device, optional clear cap, and a new, sterile lancet. Blood Sample Collection To obtain a drop of blood, follow these steps: Step 1: Select the puncture site. You may obtain a blood drop from the fingertip, palm, or forearm. If using the forearm, choose a fleshy area away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. If using the palm, choose a fleshy area on the palm below your thumb or pinky finger. [. . . ] Extremes in hematocrit may affect test results. 3 Hematocrit levels less than 30% may cause falsely high readings and hematocrit levels greater than 55% may cause falsely low readings. If you do not know your hematocrit level, consult your healthcare professional. · OneTouch® Ultra® Test Strips may be used at altitudes up to 10, 000 feet (3048 meters) without an effect on test results.
