Welcome to the OneTouch family: We know how difficult it can be to understand and manage diabetes. The right products and services can help make life with diabetes just a little bit easier. At LifeScan, our priority is to ensure that you have the right blood glucose meter to meet your needs.

That's why we design products like the OneTouch UltraEasy Blood Glucose Monitoring System. The OneTouch UltraEasy Meter makes it simple to get a test result and review past results. Your own owner's booklet will help you learn how to use your meter properly. Please read it carefully.

Intended use: The OneTouch UltraEasy Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood. The OneTouch UltraEasy 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.

Use Outside the UK: This meter gives readings in mmol/l, which are the standard units used in the UK. Some countries use the US standard of mg/dl and this meter will not be suitable for you to use

VAT Exemption: If you are diabetic and buying this for your own use, then you need not pay VAT for this item. See our VAT Exemption Form for more details

Recycling Information: Old items of electrical equipment should be recycled and not just thrown into the bin. See our Environmental Policy for more details

Before using OneTouch UltraEasy to test your blood glucose, carefully read your own booklet and the inserts that come with the OneTouch Ultra Test Strips and OneTouch Ultra Control Solution. Take note of warnings and cautions throughout the booklet.

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.

Lancing and sampling from an alternate site: Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your fingertips less often. You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternate site is less painful than using a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is different than getting a sample from your fingertips.

	Forearm sampling Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. To help you get a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow.
	Palm sampling Choose a fleshy area on the palm below your thumb or little finger. Select a spot with no visible veins and away from deep lines, which may cause your blood sample to smear.
