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.
