Set the blood glucose test strip code
Aft
er you insert the strip, the PDM displays a code number
(Figure 7-18). This number must match the code on the side of
the vial.
To change the code number, press the Up/Down Controller
buttons until the number matches the number on your vial. The
numbers are between 1 and 50.
If you do not adjust the code number within 2 seconds, the next
screen appears automatically (Figure 7-19).
Lance your finger
1. To stimulate blood flow, keep your hand warm or lower your
hand to waist level and gently massage your finger.
2. Set the depth setting on the lancing device (Figure 7-20 on
the following page).
3. Lightly touch the lancing device (with the gray cap) against
the side of your fingertip (Figure 7-21 on the following page).

Figure 7-19
If you need to adjust the code number after the PDM
has moved to the next screen, just press the 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.
The code number on the screen should match the
code number on the side of your test strip vial (Fig-
ure 7-4). They must always match or your results will
be inaccurate.
