Performing a Blood Glucose Test

STEP 1: Insert the Test Strip
Insert a test strip with the contact bar end entering into the test strip slot first. Push the test strip as far as it will go without bending it. The meter turns on automatically. See Figure 30.
Voice Speaks: “Your Prodigy® meter is on.
Please wait. Please apply blood into the test strip.”

STEP 2: Apply Blood Sample
When the meter shows the “ ”, apply blood to the opening of the absorbent channel of the test strip where it meets the narrow channel. Blood will be drawn into the test strip. See Figure 31.
If the test strip confirmation window is full (See Figure 32), you will hear a beep.
Voice Speaks: “Now testing.” If the confirmation window is not full, “L-b” is displayed and a new test strip will need to be used. If you have trouble filling the test strip, please contact Customer Care at 1.800.243.2636 for assistance.

Caution: DO NOT:

• Smear or scrape the blood onto the test strip.
• Apply blood to the test strip when the test strip is not in the meter.
• Put blood or foreign objects into the test strip slot.

STEP 3: Read Your Result
After the meter counts down from 6 to 1, your blood glucose test result appears along with the unit of measure, date and time.  See Figure 33.
Voice Speaks: “Blood glucose 108 mg/dL.”
This blood glucose result is automatically stored in the meter memory. Turn the meter off by removing the test strip. Discard the used test strip carefully to avoid contamination.

Important: If you do not apply a blood sample within (4) four minutes, the meter will automatically turn off. You must remove the test strip and re- insert it again to turn on the meter and restart the test procedure.
Caution: If you cannot test due to a problem with your testing supplies, contact Customer Care at 1.800.243.2636. Failure to test could delay treatment and/or lead to serious medical conditions.

Using the Meter Memory

The Prodigy AutoCode® meter stores a maximum of the 450 most recent blood glucose test results with date and time in its memory. It also provides you with 7, 14 and 28–day averages of your blood glucose test results. You can review the individual or average test results by entering the memory mode.
STEP 1: Enter the Memory Mode
Press and hold the “M” button until the meter powers on, then press the “M” button again. The 7–day average will appear, indicating that you are in the memory mode.
If you continue to press the “M” button, the 14 and 28–day averages will appear in order. You can then review the last 450 individual test results in memory.
When using the meter for the first time or when the memory has been deleted, “- – -” appears, indicating there are no test results in the meter memory. See Figure 34.

STEP 2: Recalling Average Test Results
The 7–day average is calculated from the blood glucose results obtained during the last 7 days. It also indicates how many blood glucose tests have been performed within this period, e.g., 21 (21 tests in the last 7 days). See Figure 35.
The 14–day average is calculated from the blood glucose test results obtained during the last 14 days. See Figure 36.

It, too, indicates how many blood glucose tests have been performed, e.g., 41 (41 tests in the last 14 days). The 28–day average shows the same information.
STEP 3: Recalling Individual Test Results
After the 28–day average, the most recent test result with date and time will be shown. Press the “M” button once and the next most recent test result will appear. See Figure 37. Each time you press and release the “M” button, the meter will recall up to your last 450 test results in order. When the memory is full, the oldest test result is dropped as the
newest is added. After reaching the last individual result, it will return back to the 7–day average.
STEP 4: Exit the Memory Mode
Press and hold the “M” button for two (2) seconds to turn off the meter.
Important: If you do not press any buttons for one (1) minute, the meter will display “OFF” and turn off automatically.
