Prodigy Meter Owner’s Manual
Intended Use
The system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic
use only). It should be used only for testing blood glucose (blood
sugar) and only with fresh capillary whole blood samples.
The system is intended for use in the home and in clinical settings.
It should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for the testing
of newborns.
Test Principle
Blood glucose is measured by an electric current that is produced
when a blood sample mixes with the reagent (special chemicals)
of the test strip. The electrical current changes with the amount
of glucose in the blood sample. The Prodigy Preferred
TM
Meter
measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your
blood glucose level and then displays your result in either mg/dL
or mmol/L.
The Prodigy Preferred
TM
Meter, Test Strips and Control Solutions
have been designed, tested and proven to work together as a
system to produce accurate blood glucose test results.
Important: Use only Prodigy
®
control solutions and test strips
with your Prodigy Preferred
TM
Meter. Using other test strips and
control solutions with this meter can produce inaccurate results.
