Description:
The LifeScan OneTouch Ultra is an automatic blood glucose meter. Its blood glucose measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 1-star Medaval rating. Blood glucose measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE. It has been recalled by the manufacturer. Please check with your supplier or the manufacturer for further details.
Assessment:
The technology used in the LifeScan OneTouch Ultra, to measure blood glucose, has passed in two clinical validation studies, in general populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications. It has also been assessed, in a specific population, according to a non-standard protocol.

Ad Hoc protocol Children and adolescents with T1DM, aged 3 to 17 years (n=91) (Note: Assessment during periods of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia also included.)

The abstract refers to a proposed ISO standard. The authors concluded that the One Touch Ultra meter provides accurate glucose measurements for both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes.
