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.
Under normal blood concentrations and conditions, the following
shouldnotsignicantlyaffectresults:
• Elevated blood triglycerides
• Reducing substances such as uric acid and ascorbic acid
• Acetaminophen
• Dopa
• Methyldopa
• L-dopa
• Tolbutamide
If you are experiencing symptoms that are not consistent with your
blood glucose test results and you have followed all instructions
described in this owner’s manual, call your healthcare professional.
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, and if the 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 results may occur for individuals
experiencing a hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state. Please refer to the
test strip package insert for additional important information.
Important Health-Related Information

There are important limitations to Alternate Site Testing (AST).
Please consult your healthcare professional before performing AST.
What is AST?
Alternate Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the body other
thanyourngertipstocheckyourbloodglucoselevels.Prodigy®meters
allow 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ngertip.
When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and
exercise can affect blood glucose levels.
Capillarybloodatthengertipreects
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
ngertiponly.
Alternate Site Testing (AST)
Figure 1
Use AST only:
vTwo hours or more after your last meal.
vTwo hours or more after taking insulin.
vTwo hours or more after exercise.
vDuring a relaxed and calm state.
Do not use AST if:
v You have reason to believe you have hypoglycemia
orhyperglycemia.
vYourroutineglucoseresultsareoftenuctuating.
vYou are pregnant.
*To increase accuracy when using AST, rub the puncture site before
extracting blood.

About Prodigy®Control Solution
Prodigy®control solution is a red liquid containing glucose that
will react with test strips and produce a test result. Prodigy®meters can
use high or low control solution.
vFirst, check your contents to see if you have a high or low
control solution kit.
vThen, after completing a control solution test, compare test
results with the correct range (high or low) located on the back
of the test strip vial.
Why Perform a Control Solution Test?
 • Toensurethatyourmeterandteststripsareworkingproperly
together.
 • Toallowyoutopracticetestingwithoutusingyourownblood.
It is recommended to do a control solution test:
 • Onceaweek(toensurethatyoucontinuetohaveaccurate
test results).
 • Whenyoubeginusinganewvialofteststrips.
 • Whenteststripsareexposedtoextremeenvironmental
conditions.
 • Ifyoudropthemeter.
 • Whenyouchangethebattery.
Control Solution Testing
Important Control Solution Test Information
• UseonlyProdigy®control solutions with Prodigy®meters.
• Checktheexpirationdateonthecontrolsolutionbottle.
Do not use if expired.
• Controlsolution,meterandteststripsshouldbeat
room temperature (68–77°F/20–25°C) before testing.
• Usewithinaperiodof90daysfromthedatethatyourst
open the control solution. Record the discard date on the control
solution bottle and discard after 90 days.
• Storethecontrolsolutiontightlyclosedattemperaturesbelow 
86°F (30°C). Do not refrigerate.
Important: The control solution ranges are located on the back

STEP 5 : Check if the Test Result is in Range.
After Seven (7) seconds, the control solution
test result appears on the display.
Compare the test result with the range
printed on the test strip vial. Each vial
of Prodigy®No Coding Test Strips may
have a different control solution range.
The result should fall within the printed
range on the test strip vial.
See Figure 6.
Out of Range Results
If the result is not within the printed
range, the meter and/or test strips may
not be working properly. Repeat the control solution test.
Out of range results may occur due to:
• damaged or expired test strips
• contaminated or expired control solution
• a meter malfunction
• not following the directions
If test results continue to fall outside the range printed on the test
strip vial, check “Troubleshooting Guide” located in the “System
Troubleshooting” section.
Expiration or Damage
Prodigy®No Coding Test Strips and Control Solutions have expiration
datesprintedontheirlabels.Whenoneoftheseisrstopened,you
must record the discard date (date opened plus three (3) months) in
the space provided.
Figure 6
Caution: Do not use test strips or control solution that have
exceeded the discard date, are expired or have been damaged.
Your results may be inaccurate.
Contact Customer Care
If your test strips have been damaged or if you continue to get out-of-
range results, it means that the system or the control solution may not
be working properly. DO NOT use the system to test your blood glucose
level. If you are unable to resolve the problem, contact Customer Care

Intended Use
Prodigy®blood glucose monitoring systems are intended for use
outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use only) and should only be used
for blood glucose (blood sugar) testing with fresh capillary whole blood
samples.
These systems are intended for use in the home and in clinical settings
and 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. Prodigy®meters measure the strength of the
electrical current, calculates your blood glucose level and then displays
your result in either mg/dL or mmol/L.
Prodigy®meters, 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®meter. Using other test strips and control solutions
with this meter can produce inaccurate results.

The Prodigy AutoCode®meter stores a maximum of the 450 most
recent blood glucose test results with date and time in its memory.
It also provides you with 7, 14 and 28–day averages of your blood
glucose test results. You can review the individual or average test
results by entering the memory mode.
STEP 1: Enter the Memory Mode
While the meter is turned off, press the “M” button
twice. The 7–day average will appear, indicating
that you are in the memory mode.
If you continue to press the “M” button, the 14 and

the memory has been deleted, “- - -” appears,
indicating there are no test results in the meter
memory. See Figure 34.
STEP 2: Recalling Average Test Results
The 7–day average is calculated from the blood
glucose results obtained during the last 7 days.
It also indicates how many blood glucose tests
have been performed within this period, e.g., 21
(21 tests in the last 7 days). See Figure 35.
The 14–day average is calculated from the blood
glucose test results obtained during the last
14 days. See Figure 36.

It, too, indicates how many blood glucose tests have been performed,
e.g., 41 (41 tests in the last 14 days). The 28–day average shows the
same information.
STEP 3: Recalling Individual Test Results

result with date and time will be shown. Press the
“M” button once and the next most recent test
result will appear. See Figure 37.
