Assisting Patients with Automatic Testing

IMPORTANT: If the meter is being operated by a second person who is
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter should be cleaned and
disinfected prior to handling by the second person (see Cleaning and
Disinfection on page 62).
When helping a patient test their blood glucose, be sure to wear
gloves and follow the meter display symbols
(See Testing Symbols on page 15 for complete POGO test process).
Prepare Patient's Finger
To prepare for testing, wash patient's hands
with soap and water and dry thoroughly.
Use of warm water stimulates blood flow.
If you also choose to use alcohol to clean
patient's finger, make sure you let it dry.
Choose finger for test: ONLY USE FINGERS
PATIENT KNOWS BLEED WELL. You can use
the sides or tip of finger. Avoid calluses and
fingernails.
Increase circulation: Prepare fingertip for
lancing by squeezing several times until it's
warm and reddish. COLD FINGERS SLOW
BLOOD FLOW.
