How to Test Your
Blood Glucose Level
CAUTION: To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every test. Make sure
there is no grease, oil or lotion on the test site. Use lancets
only once. Do not use any lancet or lancing device that has
been used by another person. Unwashed hands may lead to
inaccurate results.

How to test your blood glucose level:

[1] Preparing the AgaMatrix Lancing Device:
Remove Lancing Device Cap:
Snap off the cap from the lancing
device.
Insert New Lancet: Insert a new AgaMatrix Lancet firmly into
the lancet holder cup. Pushing the
lancet into the lancet holder cup
may cock the device; this is OK.
Twist the Lancet Cover Off : Hold the lancet firmly in place
with one hand and use your other hand to twist off the lancet
cover. Do not discard the lancet
cover. It should be used when
discarding your used lancet.
Replace Lancing Device Cap: Replace the lancing device
cap until it snaps into place.
Be careful not to touch the
22
exposed needle on the lancet.
Set the Lancing Level: The AgaMatrix Lancing Device offers 8
depth settings. Rotate the dial to the desired
setting as shown in the depth indicator
window. Level 1 is the most shallow; level 8 is
the deepest. If you have never lanced before,
it is recommended that you start at level 3.
If necessary, set the depth level to a deeper
setting to produce enough blood to fill the
test strip (0.5 μL).
Cock the Handle: Pull the cocking handle out until it clicks.
You may have already cocked the handle accidentally while
inserting the lancet; this is
OK. The lancing device is now
ready for use.
[2] Insert an AgaMatrix Jazz Test Strip: Insert a new
AgaMatrix Jazz Test Strip into the test
strip port of the meter. Make sure you
insert the test strip, with the contact
bars facing up, into the test strip port.
The meter will be activated when the
test strip is fully inserted.
Note: If you do not start the test within 5 minutes, the meter will
be deactivated. To reactivate your meter, take out the unused
AgaMatrix Jazz Test Strip and reinsert it into the meter.
Meter Ready for Test: The meter now displays the droplet
symbol and the word "Fill". The AgaMatrix Jazz System is
now ready for you to apply blood. You do not need to set a
calibration code for this meter.
