Helpful Hints for Successful Blood Collection:
POGO Automatic is a NEW way to test using All-Automatic
™
technology, which combines lancing and blood collection into
one easy step. Carefully read this panel to learn how to achieve
automated blood collection.
• Choose the right test site: Since POGO automates blood
collection, you should ONLY USE FINGERS YOU KNOW BLEED
WELL. Also, avoid calluses.
• Increase circulation: Prepare the ngertip to be lanced by
rubbing it several times starting at the knuckle and pressing
downward toward the end of the ngertip. Rub rmly enough
to turn the end of your nger “reddish” from the increased
blood ow.
WARNING: POGO Automatic Meter and test cartridges are for YOUR use
only. Do not share, even with family members. Clean POGO Automatic
when visibly dirty. Even aer thorough cleaning and disinfection, all parts
of the system are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit
infectious diseases.
NOTE: Cold ngers restrict blood ow. Make sure ngertips are at room
temperature or warmer before testing.
IMPORTANT: If you have diculty getting enough blood, CHOOSE THE
RIGHT TEST SITE AND INCREASE CIRCULATION TO FINGERTIP. PRESS
DOWN FIRMLY on test port during auto lance. This will help ensure the right
depth is achieved to get enough blood for the test.
