Before you begin

Before using this product to test your blood glucose, carefully read this booklet and the inserts that come with the OneTouch

Ultra®Test Strips and OneTouch®Ultra®Control

Solution. Take note of warnings and cautions throughout this booklet, which are identified

with

Many people find it helpful to practice the test with control solution before testing

with blood for the first time. See pages 28–32 in the Control solution testing section.

Intended use

The OneTouch®UltraMini™Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood. The OneTouch

UltraMini™System is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness 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.

The OneTouch®UltraMini™Blood Glucose Monitoring System

To test with the OneTouch®UltraMini™System, you will need the following:

a. OneTouch b. OneTouch®Ultra®Control Solution c. OneTouch®Lancing Device

If another type of lancing device was included, see the separate instructions that came with that lancing device.

d. OneTouch e. OneTouch®UltraSoft®Sterile Lancets f. Carrying Case g. You will also need OneTouch Some kits do not include strips. Strips are sold separately.

Documents in your kit include this owner’s booklet, a quick start guide, a quick reference guide, a control solution insert and a warranty registration card.

Setting up your system

Setting the time and date

Your OneTouch®UltraMini™Meter comes with the time, date and unit of measure pre-set. Before using your meter for the first time or if you change the meter battery, you should check and update the time and date. Make sure you complete steps 1 to 6 below to ensure your desired settings are saved.

WARNING: If your display shows mmol/L rather than mg/dL, contact LifeScan Customer Service

at 1 800 227-8862. You cannot change the unit of measure. Use of the wrong unit of measure may cause you to misinterpret your blood glucose level, and may lead to incorrect treatment.

Step 1

Setting up your system

Turn the meter on, see page 3

After the test screen, the pre-set time and date will appear on the display for five seconds.

The hour will now start flashing.

Starting the test process

Have these things ready when you test your blood glucose level:

• OneTouch

• Lancing device

• Sterile lancets with protective disks

• OneTouch

NOTE:

• Use only OneTouch®Ultra®Test Strips with your OneTouch®UltraMini™Meter.

• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the same temperature before you test.

• Testing must be done within the operating temperature range (43–111°F). For the most accurate results, try to test as close to room temperature (68–77°F) as you can.

• You can perform a blood glucose test while your OneTouch Meter is inside its case.

Step 1

Check the code on the test strip vial before inserting the strip

Code numbers are used to calibrate your meter with the test strips you are using to obtain accurate test 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.

your testing supplies, contact your healthcare professional or LifeScan Customer Service at 1 800 227-8862. Failure to test could delay treatment decisions and lead to a serious medical condition.

CAUTION: The test strip vial contains drying agents that are harmful if inhaled or

swallowed and may cause skin or eye irritation.

Step 2

Insert a test strip to turn on the meter

Start with the meter off. If you have turned the meter on to change settings or review past results, turn it off. 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.

Hold the meter as shown and insert the test strip into the test port. Make sure the three contact bars are facing you. Push the strip in as far as it will go. Do not bend the strip.

æ CAUTION: OneTouch

re-use a strip that had either blood or control solution applied to it.

Starting the test process

Ultra®Test Strips are for single use only. Never

After the start-up test screen appears, the meter will display the code from your last test. If a constant and a flashing “––” appear instead of a code number, such as when you are first using the meter, follow the instructions on the next page to change to a numerical code.

Step 3

Match the code on the meter with the code on the test strip vial

If the code on the meter does not match the code on the test strip vial, press ▲ or ▼to match the code number on the test strip vial. The new code number will flash on the display for three seconds, and then stay constant for three seconds.

The display will advance to the screen with the flashing blood drop

icon

If the codes already match, wait three seconds. The display will advance to the screen with the flashing blood drop icon

The meter is now ready to perform a blood glucose test.

NOTE:

• If the screen with the flashing blood drop

icon R appears before you are sure the codes match, remove the test strip, wait until the meter turns off, then re-start from step 1, see page 7.

• If you press ▲ by mistake so that the control solution test symbol CtL appears on the

display, press ▲

æ CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to

obtain accurate results. Each time you test, check to make sure the code numbers match.

Choosing the right sampling site at the right time

The OneTouch

UltraMini™Meter allows you to sample blood from your fingertip, forearm or palm. Forearm and palm sampling is also referred to as “alternate site testing” (AST). At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be different from a fingertip measurement. Talk to your healthcare professional before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.

If you are testing:

Routinely before meals

Prior to or more than two hours after:

• a meal

Use blood

sample from your:

Fingertip, forearm, or palm

• a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus

• exercise

When your blood glucose is changing rapidly, such as:

• within two hours after a meal

• within two hours after a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, or

Fingertip

• during or within two hours after exercise

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

Getting a blood sample

æ 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 insulin injection or insulin pump bolus. Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.

• It has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting insulin injection or

Getting a blood sample

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 is especially important if you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction).

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