time. See page62.

3 Taking a test
NOTE:
• Use only OneTouchUltra
®
Plus Test Strips.
• Unlike some blood glucose meters, no separate step
to code your OneTouchUltra Plus Flex
™
System is
required.
• Testing must be done within operating temperature
range (6-44°C).
• Make sure your meter and test strips are about the
same temperature before you test.
• Keep test strips in a cool, dry place between 5°C
and 30°C.
