manual abstract
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. *American Diabetes Association position statement on the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (1993). iii 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 self-test use outside the body (for in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and health care 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 American Association of Diabetes Educators, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the Advanced Medical Technology Association. iv 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. v Table of Contents THE OneTouch® UltraSmart™ SYSTEM . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 OneTouch®UltraSmart™Meter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Navigation Buttons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 SmartButtons™ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 Display Symbols . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Display Contrast . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 OneTouch®Ultra™Test Strips . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 BEFORETESTING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Checking the Display . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Setting the Meter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Coding the Meter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 Checking the System . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 TESTING YOUR BLOOD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 Preparing the OneTouch® UltraSoft™ Sampler . . . 20 Fingertip Blood Sampling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 Arm Blood Sampling (“Alternate Site”) . . . . . . . . 24 Step-by-Step Test Procedure . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 Used Lancet Disposal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...
