Prepare your lancing device in 3 easy steps.
1. Snap off the cap of the lancing device at an angle, and
insert a new lancet firmly into the white holder cup. This action
may cock the device, which is fine.
2. With one hand, hold the lancet in place while twisting
the rounded top with your other hand. Then, replace the cap
until it snaps back into place. Make sure you do not touch the
exposed needle.
3. Adjust the depth setting; the lancing device offers 9 different
settings (including half settings). Level 1 is the shallowest depth
and Level 5 is the deepest. Use a lower number to lance. Pull back
the the grey slider until it clicks. (You may have already cocked
the device in step 1)
You're now ready to test!
Lancing device depicted is representative only. Please follow the instructions included with your specific lancing device.
Testing your blood glucose level.
1. Insert your FreeStyle test strip and set the code*
a. Insert a new test strip into the test strip port at the bottom
of the PDM until it stops. Make sure you insert only the top
end of the strip.
+ To help you see the test strip port in reduced lighting,
press the middle soft key labelled Light. To turn the light off,
press Light again.
b. The PDM will display a code number once you insert the strip.
This code must match the code on the side of the test strip vial
to ensure test accuracy. To change this code, just press the
Up/Down controller to change the numbers until they match.
*From some PDM screens, you cannot access the FreeStyle blood glucose meter. For example, you cannot use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when an alert,
alarm or communication error screen is displayed. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the PDM beeps to alert you. If you do not start the test within 2 minutes, the
PDM powers off. To restart the PDM, take out the unused strip and reinsert it, or simply press and hold the Power button to turn on the PDM. If you need to adjust the
code number after the PDM has moved to the next screen, just press Up/Down Controller buttons. The code screen reappears and you can adjust the number. The
code number remains on the PDM screen for your reference until you have completed the BG test.
