About OneTouch Ultra Test Strip
The OneTouch Ultra Test Strips are used for monitoring blood glucose levels. They are a component of the OneTouch Ultra blood glucose monitoring system, and are designed to provide quick and accurate results.
Uses
The strips are for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole blood samples drawn from the fingertips or, in some cases, alternative sites. They are an essential tool for individuals to manage and monitor their diabetes at home.
Compatibility
It is very important to note that OneTouch Ultra Test Strips are specifically designed to be used only with certain OneTouch Ultra meters.
The compatible meters generally include:
- OneTouch Ultra 2 Meter
- OneTouch Select Test 50 Strip
- OneTouch Ultra Meter
How it works
The OneTouch Ultra Test Strips work using a scientific process called electrochemical biosensor technology, which is based on glucose oxidase chemistry. A small drop of capillary whole blood (usually from a fingertip) is applied to the test strip. The strip’s design allows it to automatically draw the blood sample into the reaction area.
Note: They are not compatible with other models like OneTouch Select or OneTouch Verio meters. Always check your glucometer’s product name before purchasing test strips.
Key Features
They are designed to give accurate and reliable blood glucose readings. Some versions feature Double Sure Technology, which automatically checks each blood sample twice.
Fast Results: Results are generally delivered quickly, often within 5 seconds.
No Coding: Many of the newer OneTouch Ultra Test Strips feature no-coding technology for ease of use.
Single-Use: The strips are disposable and for single-use only.
Safety Information
The test strip vial and strips must be kept out of the reach of children as they pose a choking hazard. The test strip vial may contain drying agents that are harmful if swallowed or inhaled and may cause skin or eye irritation. Do not swallow test strips or other kit components.
Store the strips in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and do not refrigerate.
