PRODIGY Voice® Blood Glucose Meter
Introduction to Prodigy® Meters
Intended Use
Prodigy
blood glucose monitoring systems
®
are intended for use outside the body (in vitro
diagnostic use only) and should only be used for
blood glucose (blood sugar) testing with fresh
capillary whole blood samples.
These systems are intended for use in the home
and in clinical settings and should not be used
for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing
of newborns. Consult your healthcare provider if
unusual readings occur.
Test Principle
Blood glucose is measured by an electrical
current that is produced when a blood sample
mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the
test strip. The electrical current changes with the
amount of glucose in the blood sample. Prodigy
meters measure the strength of the electrical
current, calculate your blood glucose level
and then display your result in either mg/dL or
mmol/L.
