PRODIGY Voice® Blood Glucose Meter
when the tip touches the blood sample. Blood
should be applied only on the very tip. Blood
applied to the bottom or sides of the test strip
may cause inaccurate readings. It is important that
the test strip does not bend at all when applying
the sample.
Tip Three —Using a Sideways Approach
When testing, it may be helpful to rest or hold the
meter on one side rather than flat or face up. In
this position, the test strip sticks out of one end
and the side with the buttons faces towards you.
The idea here is that the finger can be brought to
the test strip from below until it touches the tip of
the test strip. Then, the meter can be repositioned
so the sample touches the absorbent opening
at the end of the test strip. Notice how the meter
can be positioned so that the test strip can be
sticking out to the left or to the right. This allows
for either hand to be used for testing.
Example 1
• Step 1—Place the meter on one side in front
of you on a table with the test strip pointing
to the left.
