Blood Glucose Test Procedure
For instructions on performing a blood test (including blood sample collection), refer to
the User Guide that came with your system.
IMPORTANT:
Some meters in the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Family and the OneTouch
®
Ping
™
System require coding. For meters that require coding, matching the code
on the meter to the code on the test strip vial is essential to obtain accurate
results. Refer to the User Guide that came with your system to determine if your
meter requires coding and get detailed instructions on coding.
Test Results
Low Glucose Values
If your test result is below 1.1 mmol/L (20 mg/dL), a warning message will appear indicating
a low glucose level. This may indicate severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
Treat this
condition immediately, according to your healthcare professional’s recommendations.
Although this message could be due to a test error, it is safer to treat first, and then do another
test.
High Glucose Values
If your test result is above 33.3 mmol/L (600 mg/dL), a warning message will appear
indicating a high glucose level. This may indicate severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).
You should retest your glucose level. If the message appears again, call your healthcare
professional immediately.
If You Get Unexpected Results
If your blood glucose result is below 4.0 mmol/L (72 mg/dL)
2
, indicating low blood glucose,
or above 10.0 mmol/L (180 mg/dL), indicating high blood glucose, you should contact and
follow your healthcare professional’s treatment advice.
1
If you continue to get unexpected
results, check your system with control solution. If you are experiencing symptoms that are
not consistent with your blood glucose test results AND you have followed all instructions
described in your User Guide, call your healthcare professional. Never ignore symptoms
or make significant changes to your diabetes control program without speaking to your
healthcare professional.
Range of Expected Values
Blood glucose management requires the help of a healthcare professional. Together you can
set your own range of expected blood glucose values, arrange your testing times, and discuss
the meaning of your blood glucose results.
Expected blood glucose levels for people without diabetes:

Control Solution
A control solution test is performed to check that the meter and test strips are working together
properly and that you are performing the test correctly. For instructions on how and when to
check the system by performing a control solution test, refer to the User Guide that came with
your system.
Limitations of Procedure
Blue OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Test Strips give accurate results when the following limitations
are observed:
•
Do Not
use for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing of newborns.
• Test strips are for single use only.
Do Not
reuse.
• The test strips are specific to D-glucose and do not react to other sugars, which may be
present in blood.
• Use only fresh capillary whole blood.
Do Not
use serum or plasma.
• Hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in the blood. Extremes in hematocrit
may affect test results.
3
Hematocrit levels below 30% may cause falsely high readings
and hematocrit levels over 55% may cause falsely low readings. If you do not know your
hematocrit level, consult your healthcare professional.
• Blue OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Test Strips may be used at altitudes up to 3048 meters
(10,000 feet) without an effect on test results. Accurate results were demonstrated in
clinical studies performed at altitudes up to 1609 meters (5,280 feet) and in studies
simulating altitudes up to 3048 meters (10,000 feet).
Healthcare professionals—please note these additional limitations of procedure:
• Fresh capillary blood may be collected into heparin-containing test tubes if the blood is
used within 10 minutes.
Do Not
use other anticoagulants or preservatives.
• Interferences: Acetaminophen, salicylates, uric acid, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and
other reducing substances (when occurring in normal blood or normal therapeutic
concentrations) do not significantly affect results. However, abnormally high concentrations
in blood may cause inaccurately high results.
• Patients undergoing oxygen therapy may yield falsely low results.
• Test results may be falsely low if the patient is severely dehydrated, in shock, or in a
hyperosmolar state (with or without ketosis). Critically ill patients should not be tested by
blood glucose meters.
• Lipemic samples: Cholesterol levels up to 18.1 mmol/L (700 mg/dL) and triglycerides up to
33.9 mmol/L (3000 mg/dL) do not affect the results. Grossly lipemic patient samples have
not been tested and are not recommended for testing with the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Family of
Meters and the OneTouch
®
Ping
™
System.
Test Principle
The OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Family of Meters and OneTouch
®
Ping
™
System are plasma-calibrated to
allow easy comparison of results with laboratory methods. Glucose in the blood sample mixes
with special chemicals on the test strip and a small electrical current is produced. This current
is measured by the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Family of Meters and OneTouch
®
Ping
™
System and
displayed as your blood glucose result. The strength of this current changes with the amount
of glucose in the blood sample.
Reagent Composition
Each test strip contains: Glucose oxidase (Aspergillus niger)
≥
0.08 IU; ferricyanide
≥
22 µg;
other ingredients (buffer, etc.). The test strip vial contains a drying agent.
Performance Characteristics
The performance of blue OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Test Strips has been evaluated both in laboratory
and in clinical tests.

Measurement Range:
The measurement range of the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
Family of Meters is
1.1 to 33.3 mmol/L (20– 600 mg/dL).
System Accuracy:
Diabetes experts have suggested that glucose meters should agree within
0.83 mmol/L (15 mg/dL) of a laboratory method when the glucose concentration is lower
than 4.2 mmol/L (75 mg/dL), and within 20% of a laboratory method when the glucose
concentration is 4.2 mmol/L (75 mg/dL) or higher. Samples from 100 diabetic patients at 1
clinical center were tested using both the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
2 System and the YSI Model 2300
Glucose Analyzer (laboratory test).
3
System Accuracy Results for Glucose Concentrations <4.2 mmol/L (75 mg/dL)
System Accuracy Results for Glucose Concentrations
≥
4.2 mmol/L (75 mg/dL)
System Accuracy Results across the entire Glucose Range
Therefore, 96.3% of the total results obtained with the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
2 System achieved
the goal suggested by the diabetes experts.
Regression Statistics:
Samples were tested in duplicate on each of 3 test strip lots. Results
indicate that the OneTouch
®
Ultra
®
2 System compares well with a laboratory method.
Precision:
Within Run Precision
(100 venous blood tests per glucose level)
Results show that the greatest variability observed between test strips when tested
with blood is 2.5% or less.
