• Each lancet is coated with a tiny amount (<0.24 IU) of heparin
which keeps the collected blood from clotting inside the test cell
until your results appear. Before using this device, let your doctor
know if you are allergic to heparin or have ever been diagnosed
with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia, also known as HIT.
HIT is a very rare condition that causes blood clots. Stop using
the device and contact your doctor if you notice unexplained
swelling in one arm or leg, sudden severe chest pain or shortness
of breath, or stroke symptoms.
• A blood glucose result that reads HI (high) or LO (low) may
indicate a potentially serious health problem. If your result is
unusually high or low, repeat the test. Immediately consult your
healthcare professional for treatment advice if high or low results
continue.
• Keep the meter and all testing supplies out of the reach of
children. The POGO Automatic Test Cartridge, platform,
batteries, Control Solution, and outer packaging may present a
choking hazard and be harmful if swallowed.
• Do not swallow Control Solution; it is not for human consumption.
Do not apply Control Solution to the skin or eyes as it may cause
irritation. The POGO Control Applicator is a choking hazard.
• When performing a Control Solution Test, if your results
continue to fail, call Intuity Medical Customer Service at
1-855-IMI-POGO (464-7646) immediately. DO NOT use
the meter to test your blood glucose until you obtain a
passing result.
• This device is not intended for use in healthcare or assisted-
use settings such as hospitals, physician oces, or long-term
care facilities because it has not been cleared by FDA for use in
these settings, including for routine assisted testing or as part of
glycemic control procedures.
• Use of this device on multiple patients may lead to transmission
of Human Immunodeciency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus
(HCV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or other bloodborne pathogens.
WARNING: All POGO testing supplies are considered
biohazardous and can potentially transmit infectious diseases,
even aer you have performed cleaning and disinfection. Wash
hands with soap and water immediately aer use.
Precautions
• Be sure to review the System Limitations section for information
on factors that may aect the accuracy of your results.
• Call your doctor if you are experiencing symptoms which
are inconsistent with your glucose result. Consult with your
healthcare professional before making any changes to your
diabetes medication or health regimen.
System Limitations
• The POGO Automatic System is not intended for
multi-patient use. Do not use on more than one patient in a
clinical setting such as hospitals, long-term care, assisted living
facilities, clinics or health fairs as this might pass infection from
one patient to another.
• The POGO Automatic System is not intended for the
quantitative measurement of venous or arterial blood.
• The POGO Automatic System is not intended for use on
neonates.
• The POGO Automatic System should not be used for the
diagnosis of or screening of diabetes.

• The POGO Automatic Meter should only be used with POGO
Automatic Test Cartridges and POGO Control Solutions.
• Individual test cells and cartridges are single-use only.
Do not attempt to reuse.
• Use only fresh whole capillary blood. Do not attempt to use
plasma or serum to obtain an accurate blood glucose test result.
• Not to be used for patients who are dehydrated, hypotensive, in
shock, critically ill or in a hyperosmolar state.
• The hematocrit range for the POGO System is 20% – 60%.
Extremely high hematocrit levels above 60% may cause falsely
low results and very low hematocrit levels below 20% may cause
falsely high results.
• The POGO Automatic System has not been evaluated at
altitudes above 10,000 feet.
Additional Information
• POGO Control Solutions should be used for patient training
and educational purposes, and to check that the meter and test
cartridges are working properly.
• If the meter is being operated by a second person who is
providing testing assistance to the user, the meter should be
cleaned and disinfected prior to handling by the second person.
Importance of Testing
Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) is essential to managing
diabetes. Frequent glucose monitoring has proven to provide
signicant health benets for people with diabetes. The Diabetes
Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that tight glucose
control can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications
such as blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage and heart and
circulatory problems by up to 76%.1Early introduction of intensive
diabetes management oers additional benets by lowering the
risk of heart attack, stroke and death from cardiovascular disease
by 57%.2
By combining SMBG, prescribed medications and a healthy
regimen of diet and exercise as recommended by your doctor, you
can help reduce the overall complications of diabetes. Consult your
healthcare professional to discuss the program that is right for you.

Please note: Proper storage and handling of test cartridges is
essential to obtain accurate results.
• Store test cartridges in a cool, dry place between
40°F – 86°F, and in a relative humidity range of 10% – 90%
(non-condensing).
• Ensure meter and cartridge are both at room temperature before
testing (see Meter Specications on page 78).
• Keep out of direct sunlight and heat. Do not refrigerate or freeze.
• Do not use the test cartridge past the expiration date
( Use by:) printed on cartridge label.
• Immediately mark the discard date in the box on cartridge top

April 1 May 1
POGO Automatic Test Cartridge
Everything you need to test is contained within the POGO
Automatic Test Cartridge. No separate lancing device is required.
Each cartridge combines 10 test strips and 10 lancets.
Each test cell is environmentally sealed and contains one test strip
and one sterile lancet.
• Test cartridges are single-patient use only.
• Do not share cartridges, even with family members.
• Each lancet is 30 gauge. Single-use only and auto-disabled
aer use.
• Lancets are coated with Silicone and Heparin to help reduce
pain and aid in blood collection. This coating makes skin contact
each time you test.
WARNING: Each lancet is coated with a tiny amount (<0.24 IU)
of heparin which keeps the collected blood from clotting inside
the test cell until your results appear. Before using this device,
let your doctor know if you are allergic to heparin or have ever
been diagnosed with Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia, also
known as HIT. HIT is a very rare condition which causes blood
clots. Stop using the device and contact your doctor if you notice
unexplained swelling in one arm or leg, sudden severe chest pain
or shortness of breath, or stroke symptoms.

Getting Started
How the POGO Automatic System Works
POGO’s automated testing technology is one-of-a-kind. Each test
cell in the 10-test cartridge contains a lancet, a test strip and a tiny
receptacle. When you press down, blood from your lanced nger
automatically ows through a hollow lancet to the test strip where a
tiny lens views and quickly analyzes it. Your result is then displayed
within four seconds.

Control Solution Testing
Performing a Control Solution Test helps
you check that the meter and test cartridge
are working properly together, and that your
blood glucose results are reliable.
The POGO Control Solutions contain a
known amount of glucose. You perform a
test with POGO Control Solutions similarly
to a blood glucose test, except that you use
Control Solution instead of blood
(see how to perform a Control Solution Test
on Page 26).
The Control Solution Test result appears
on the meter as a pass or fail result. If the
Control Solution result fails, either you may
not be performing the test correctly or the
meter and test cartridge are not working
properly together.
Either Level 1 or Level 2 Control Solution
can be used to check the system. Obtaining
a PASS result using either is acceptable to
verify system performance. Most users will
nd it sucient to use Level 2.

Performing a Control Solution Test
Ensure that a test cartridge is installed
and that there are tests remaining. Control
Solution testing will not work without the
vacuum feature turned on in the Set-Up
Menu (see Vacuum on page 58).
• TURN ON METER.
• Aer a screen check, the meter will
prompt you when ready for testing.
• Open foil pouch and remove a new
Control Solution applicator for use.
• Place the POGO Control Solution
applicator tip (with foil-end facing
downward) over the test port. Press
down and hold.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT LIFT APPLICATOR AFTER LANCE.
Hold in place while meter collects Control Solution.
• Aer a 3-2-1 countdown, the
applicator tip will be lanced.
•
• The meter beeps and an arrow signals
that you can remove the applicator. A
pass or fail result will be displayed aer a
4-second countdown.
• Discard the applicator aer use.
Unexpected Meter Display
If this screen appears, the meter did not
receive enough control solution from
the applicator. You have 90 seconds to
complete the control test. When there are
60 seconds le, the meter will count down
to 0.
Pick up the control solution applicator.
Press back down into test port.
• Wiggle the tip back and forth or side to
side to transfer solution to the cartridge.
REPEAT until you get a result or meter
times out. If meter times out, repeat test
with a new applicator.
Control Solution Results
Expected Results
The meter reads the Pass Range for both Level 1 and Level 2 Control
Solutions automatically from the cartridge barcode and compares
the result to the range for the level of control used.
The range is assigned as the mean value +/- 15%. The table below
gives an example of the expected value for each Control level and
resulting calculated Pass Range.

Pass
If the Control Solution result is in range, the
screen displays a pass result, indicating
the meter and test cartridge are working
properly together. You are now ready to
perform a blood glucose test.
Fail
If you receive a fail Control Solution Test
result, this indicates that the value is
outside of the Control Solution target
range, and you should immediately repeat
the test.
A failed Control Solution Test may indicate:
• An error in your testing method—
for example, removing applicator from
the test port before indicated.
• Expired or improperly stored Control
Solution, exposure to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
• Expired, damaged or improperly stored
test cartridges.
• A problem with the meter.
WARNING: If your results continue to fail, call Intuity Medical
Customer Service immediately at 1-855-IMI-POGO (464-7646).
DO NOT use the meter to test your blood glucose until you obtain
a passing result.
Meter needs only .25
microliters
of blood
The POGOAutomatic System is a new
way of testing. POGO Automatic has
All-Automatic™ technology which means
lancing and blood collection are combined
in one easy step. Just place your nger
on the test port and press. The meter
automatically lances your nger and
collects your blood sample without the
need for separate supplies.
It’s that simple.
Testing Your Blood Glucose
Wash hands
If this is your rst time testing, it is recommended that you practice
rst (see Practice on page 32).
Testing with POGO Automatic requires
a very small blood sample size—only .25
microliters. This is about the size of a
pinhead.
To prepare for testing, wash hands with
soap and water and dry thoroughly. Use of
warm water stimulates blood ow. If you
also choose to use alcohol to clean your
nger, make sure you let it dry. It is also a
good idea to wash your hands any time
aer you remove the test platform or open
the cartridge door to handle or change
cartridges.
IMPORTANT: Press and hold your nger on the test port until the meter
beeps and arrow appears. This indicates that the meter has successfully
collected enough blood. Performing this step properly will help to ensure
you get a glucose result when you test.

WARNING: POGO meter and test cartridges are for YOUR use only.
Do not share, even with family members. Clean POGO when visibly
dirty. Even aer thorough cleaning and disinfection, all parts of the
system are considered biohazardous and can potentially transmit
infectious diseases.
Helpful Hints for Successful Blood Collection:
POGO®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 and nail beds.
• 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.
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.
• Seal the test port: Completely cover the
test port. Create a seal over the port hole
with your ngertip. Avoid nger positions
that allow air to leak through the port.
KEEP THE PORT SEALED DURING THE
ENTIRE BLOOD COLLECTION PROCESS.
You may want to practice nger
positioning before testing, especially if
you have long ngernails or like to test on
the side of the ngertip.
• Apply consistent pressure: When
lancing, PRESS DOWN until you see the
3-2-1 countdown. This signals you have
the right pressure for the test. Hold nger
steady so POGO can automatically lance
and collect blood sample. Aer lance,
DO NOT LIFT nger even slightly o test
port; this can interrupt blood collection.
Note: pressing way too hard may restrict
blood ow and cause meter errors.
• It’s helpful to place your index nger
from your other hand on top of the nger
being tested to ensure you apply rm
and consistent pressure without liing
during automated blood collection.

you will be lanced. YOU MUST HOLD
FINGER IN PLACE aer lance.
IMPORTANT: If you li your nger aer lance, it will interrupt
automatic blood collection. The meter will then prompt you to
add more blood into the cartridge. YOU MUST READ the ADD
MORE BLOOD section of this manual to learn how (See Add More
Blood on page 38).
• Li your nger only when you see
the arrow, indicating your blood has
successfully been collected. If you li
your nger aer lance, it will interrupt
automatic blood collection.
• View results aer a 4-second countdown.
Sample Result Screen
• What if appears on the meter display instead of your
result? Sometimes, more blood is required to complete the test.
You have 90 seconds to add more blood into the cartridge for
a result. When 60 seconds is le, the meter will start counting
down to 0.
