The UniStrip1™ Generic Blood Glucose Test Strips are used with the OneTouch® Ultra®2, OneTouch® UltraMini® and OneTouch® UltraSmart® meters purchased before April 2016, and OneTouch® Ultra® purchased before October 2012, set at calibration code 49, for measuring glucose (sugar) in whole capillary blood. The strips are meant for self-testing of blood glucose as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
They are for single patient use only and should not be shared.
They are used to quantitatively measure glucose in fresh capillary whole blood samples taken from the finger, palm, or forearm. Testing is done outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use).
They are indicated for use by people with diabetes in their home as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes control.
Not intended for the diagnosis of or screening for diabetes mellitus and is not intended for use on neonates.
The UniStrip1™ Generic Blood Glucose Test Strips allow alternate site testing (AST) from the fingertip, palm and/or the forearm. (Use of palm AST is not to be done with OneTouch® Ultra® meter). Alternative site testing should only be done during steady-state times (when glucose is not changing rapidly).
The UniStrip™ Control Solutions are for use with the UniStrip1™ Generic Blood Glucose Test Strips and OneTouch® Ultra® meters to check that the meters and test strip are working together properly and that the test is performing correctly.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
