• Seal the test port: Completely cover the
test port. Create a seal over the port hole
with your fingertip. Avoid finger positions
that allow air to leak through the port.
KEEP THE PORT SEALED DURING THE
ENTIRE BLOOD COLLECTION PROCESS.
You may want to practice finger
positioning before testing, especially if
you have long fingernails or like to test on
the side of the fingertip.
• Apply consistent pressure: When
lancing, PRESS DOWN until you see
the 3-2-1 countdown. This signals you
have the right pressure for the test.
Hold finger steady so POGO Automatic
can automatically lance and collect
blood sample. After lance, DO NOT LIFT
finger even slightly off test port; this can
interrupt blood collection. Note: pressing
way too hard may restrict blood flow and
cause meter errors.
• It's helpful to place your index finger
from your other hand on top of the finger
being tested to ensure you apply firm
and consistent pressure without lifting
during automated blood collection.
