1 The Complete PocketScan™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System The PocketScan Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of three main products: the PocketScan™ Blood Glucose Meter , PocketScan™ T est Strips, and PocketScan™ Control Solution.
2 PocketScan ™ Blood Glucose Meter DISPLA Y Y our test results are displayed here. The large, easy-to-read display is where you read the symbols and simple messages that guide you through the test. M BUTTON The M (Mode) button is used to set up the meter , enter the memory mode, and turn the meter on and off.
3 TEST POR T The test port is where you insert the PocketScan™ T est Strip for testing. The meter will turn on automatically when you insert a test strip.
4 PocketScan ™ T est Strips The PocketScan™ Blood Glucose Monitoring System measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in whole blood. Blood is applied to the target area of the PocketScan T est Strip. The test strip auto- matically draws the required quantity of blood into the reaction cell in which the reaction takes place.
5 Important T est Strip Information • Store the test strip package in a cool, dry place below 30°C (86°F). Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate. • Store your test strips in their original vial only; do not transfer them to a new bottle or any other container .
6 Checking the Display Each time you insert a test strip into the PocketScan™ Meter or turn the meter on, all segments of the display will appear briefly . This tells you that the system is per- forming several self-checks and allows you to confirm that all display segments are working properly .
7 STEP 1 Enter the Code Mode. Start with the meter turned off. Insert a PocketScan™ T est Strip to turn on the meter . All segments of the display will appear followed by the date and time. Next, the code number will appear on the display for three seconds.
8 STEP 3 Code the Meter . Use the C button to select the correct code. Each time you press and release the C but- ton, the number will increase by one. T o move faster , simply press and hold the C button. After you have selected the correct code number , it will flash for three sec- onds and then appear solid for three sec- onds.
9 Checking the System with PocketScan™ Control Solution PocketScan Control Solution is used to check that the meter and test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly . It is very important that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
10 Before you use the PocketScan™ Meter to test your blood for the first time, practice the procedure using control solution. When you can do three tests in a row that are within the expected range, you are ready to test your blood. Do a control solution test: • When you begin using a new vial of test strips.
11 Important Control Solution T est Information • Use only PocketScan™ Control Solution. • Check the expiration date on the control solution vial. Do not use if expired. • Shake the vial and discard the first drop of PocketScan Control Solution.
12 How to do a control solution test: STEP 1 Insert T est Strip. Insert a test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. (Contact bars must be inserted all the way into the meter or you may get an inaccurate test result.) The meter will turn on automati- cally .
13 Normal Glucose Control Solution (Example) If you decide not to perform a control solution test, the “ ctl ” sign will disappear if you press the C button again. STEP 2 Apply Control Solution. Shake the control solution vial well. Remove the cap.
14 Comparing control solution results If test results fall outside the range printed on the test strip vial, repeat the test. Out- of-range results may be caused by one or more of the following: • Error in performing the test. • Failure to shake the control solution vial vigorously .
15 Be sure to read this section carefully before using. Make sure you have all the items needed to test: • PocketScan™ Meter • PocketScan™ T est Strips • Penlet ® II Automatic Blood Sampler.
16 Getting a Drop of Blood STEP 1 Insert a Lancet in the PENLET II Automatic Blood Sampler . Remove the PENLET II Cap by pulling it straight off. Insert the lancet into the lancet holder . Hold the lancet firmly , and gently twist and pull off the protective disk.
17 it does not click, the PENLET II Sampler may have been cocked when the lancet was inserted. STEP 3 Wash Y our Hands. Use warm, soapy water . Rinse and dry them thoroughly . Hanging your arm down for 20 seconds will help if you have diffi- culty obtaining enough blood.
18 Step-by-Step T est Procedure STEP 1 Insert T est Strip. Insert the test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. (Contact bars must be inserted all the way into the meter or you may get an inaccurate test result.) The meter will turn on automati- cally .
19 STEP 2 Apply Sample. Obtain a drop of blood from your finger using the PENLET II Automatic Blood Sampler . When the symbol appears on the display , touch a small drop of blood to the white target area of the test strip. Hold your finger against the test strip until the meter begins to count down.
20 Special Messages The PocketScan™ Meter displays results between 1.1 and 33.3 mmol/L (20 to 600 mg/dL). If your test result is lower than 1.1 mmol/L (20 mg/dL), “ lo ” will appear on the meter display . This indicates severe hypoglycemia (low blood glucose).
21 Y our PocketScan™ Meter stores the 150 most recent blood glucose and control solution test results with date and time in its memory . It also provides you with a 14-day average of your blood glucose test results. Y ou can review the test results in memory with these easy steps: STEP 1 Enter the Memory Mode.
22 STEP 2 Recall T est Results. After three seconds, the 14-day average will be replaced by the most recent test result with date and time. Press the C but- ton once and the next most recent test result will appear . Each time you press and release the C button, the meter will recall up to your last 150 test results in order .
23 STEP 3 Exit the Memory Mode. Press the M button to turn off the meter . Note: When using the meter for the first time, “ mem--- ” will appear , showing that there are no test results in memory .
24 The blood glucose test result you obtain from your meter may be different from your laboratory result due to normal variation. The two results should, however , be within 20% of each other . 1 T o make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, follow the guidelines below .
25 Y ou may still have a variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change sig- nificantly over short periods, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication, or experienced stress. 2 In addi- tion, if you have eaten recently , the blood glucose level from a fingerstick can be up to 3.
26 Maintenance Y our PocketScan™ Meter does not require spe- cial maintenance. As no blood or control solu- tion comes in contact with the meter , there is no special cleaning required. T ake care to avoid get- ting dirt, dust, blood, control solution, or water inside the meter through the test port.
27 2. The symbol appears on the display by itself. This means that the batteries will not provide enough power for a test. Y ou must change the batteries. T o replace the batteries, make sure that the meter is turned off. T urn the meter over and locate the battery compartment.
