Testing Your Blood Glucose Level
Before testing, you will need the following items:
Glucose AG-605A Meter
AGS-1000 test strip
Adjustable Automatic Lancing Device
Sterile Lancet
CAUTION:
To reduce the chances of infection:
Choose a clean, dry work surface.
Never share a lancing device and lancet with another person.
Always use a new and sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
Always use a new Test Strip. Test Strips are for single use only.
Avoid getting lotion, oils, dirt or debris in or on the lancet and lancing device.
Step 1
Wash hands using soap and warm water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Step 2
Make sure you have coded the meter and loaded the needle into the lancing
device.
Step 3
Remove a Test Strip from the vial and replace the cap on the vial immediately.
Step 4
Insert the test strip into the test strip slot of the meter. The meter turns on
automatically, and the code number appears on the screen.

Step 5
When the blood drop symbol flashes on the meter, it means that you can start
testing. You have 3 minutes to apply the blood sample. If you do not apply the
sample within 3 minutes, the meter will turn off automatically.
Obtain a Blood Sample
Sample may be obtained from finger as the following procedure:
1. Remove the end-cap of the lancing device by gently turning and pulling
straight out.
2. Insert the lancet into the lancet holder.
3. Twist and remove the protective, lancet cover to expose the sterile needle
tip.
4. Replace the end-cap back on the body of the lancing device.
5. Pull back on the cocking mechanism until it comes to a stop.
6. Place the lancing device firmly against the sample site and press the
release button.
7. After sampling, remove the end-cap containing the used lancet.
8. Remove the lancet from the lancing device. Discard the used lancet
properly in accordance with local, state, and federal law.
Step 6
Pick up the meter and use the most comfortable way to touch the blood drop to
the edge of the test strip. The blood will be sucked into the test strip
automatically.
Step 7
As soon as enough blood has filled the confirmation window of the Test Strip,
you will hear a beep letting you know the test has begun. Countdown 5

8
seconds starts.
Step 8
Your blood glucose result will appear on the screen after 5 seconds. The result
will be automatically saved in meter simultaneously.
Note:
To ensure accurate results, make sure the confirmation window of the
Test Strip is completely filled with your blood sample.
Step 9
The Glucose AG-605A results range between 20 mg/dL to 600 mg/dL(1.1
mmol/L to 33.3 mmol/L). If a “HI” message appears on your display, your
Glucose Meter has detected that your blood glucose level is higher than
600mg/dL or 33.3mmol/L. It is suggested that you review your testing
procedure and test again with a new Glucose Test Strip to confirm the result. If
the same result occurs, consult your healthcare professional immediately.
Step 10
If a “LO” message appears on your display, your Glucose Meter has detected
that your blood glucose level is lower than 20mg/dL or 1.1mmol/L. It is
