Prodigy Talking Meter Owner’s Manual

Read this before using your Prodigy AutoCode® Meter.

The following basic safety precautions should always be

taken.

• Close supervision is necessary when the device is used

by, on, or near children, handicapped persons or invalids.

• Use the device only for the intended use described in

this manual.

• Do not use test strips and control solutions that are not

supplied by the manufacturer.

• Do not use the device if it is not working properly, or if it

has suffered any damage.

• Before using any product to test your blood glucose,

read all instructions thoroughly and practice the test.

Do all quality control checks as directed and consult with

a diabetes healthcare professional.

Warning: Keep the test strip vial away from children;

the vial cap and the test strips can be a potential choking

hazard. Never chew or swallow a test strip. If this occurs,

please seek medical assistance immediately.

Important Safety Instructions

Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC 1.800.243.2636

Prodigy Talking Meter Owner’s Manual

Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause

false low results. If you believe you are suffering from

severe dehydration; consult a healthcare professional

immediately.

Elevated blood triglycerides, reducing substances such

as uric acid and ascorbic acid at normal blood

concentration, or acetaminophen, dopa, methyldopa,

L-dopa and tolbutamide at normal blood concentrations

should not signiﬁcantly affect the results.

Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) indicate low

blood glucose (hypoglycemia). Test results greater than

240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) indicate high blood glucose

(hyperglycemia). If your results are below 60 mg/dL or

above 240 mg/dL, repeat the test; if the test

results are still below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above

240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult your healthcare

professional immediately.

Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive

individuals or patients in shock. Inaccurate low

results may occur for individuals experiencing a

hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state.

Please refer to your test strip package insert for additional

important information.

Important Health-Related Information

Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC www.prodigymeter.com

Prodigy Talking Meter Owner’s Manual

There are important limitations to AST. Please consult your

healthcare professional before you perform AST.

What is AST?

Alternate Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the

body other than your ﬁngertips to check your blood

glucose levels. The Prodigy AutoCode® Meter allows you to

test on your palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh.

See Figure 1.

What is the advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more readily

because they are full of nerve

endings (receptors). At other body

sites, nerve endings are not so

numerous and you will not feel as

much pain as you will experience at

the ﬁngertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress,

and exercise can affect blood

glucose levels. Capillary blood at

the ﬁngertip reﬂects these changes

faster than capillary blood at other sites.

Therefore, if you are testing your blood glucose level

during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise

or stressful event, take the blood sample from your

ﬁngertip only.

About Alternative Site Testing (AST)

About Alternate Site Testing (AST)

Prodigy Diabetes Care, LLC 1.800.243.2636

Prodigy Talking Meter Owner’s Manual

Use AST only:

v Two hours or more after your last meal

v Two hours or more after taking insulin

v Two hours or more after exercise

v During steady state blood glucose conditions

Do not use AST if:

vYou have reason to believe you have hypoglycemia or

  hyperglycemia

vYour routine glucose results are often ﬂuctuating

vYou are pregnant

*To increase the accuracy when using AST, rub the puncture

site before extracting blood.

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 AutoCode® 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 AutoCode® 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 AutoCode® Meter. Using other test

strips and control solutions with this meter can produce

inaccurate results.
