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.
