Important

There are important limitations for doing AST. Please consult 

your healthcare professional before you perform AST.

What is AST ?

Alternative Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of 

the body other than your fingertips to check your blood 

glucose levels. The system allows you to test from the palm, 

forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh, with equivalent results to 

fingertip testing.

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. Capil-

lary blood at fingertip reflects these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites. 

Therefore, if you are testing blood glucose level during or immediately after meal, 

physical exercise or stressful event, take the blood sample from your fingertip only.

Use AST only :

1.In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).

2.Two hours or more after taking insulin.

3.Two hours or more after exercise.

4.During steady state blood glucose conditions.

Do NOT use AST if :

1.You have reason to believe you have hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

2.Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.

3.You are pregnant.

How to increase the accuracy ?

Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood extraction has 

a significant influence on the glucose value obtained.

Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably different glucose concentra-

tion than blood from the fingertip. When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood 

extraction, the difference was significantly reduced.

IMPORTANT : 

To increase the accuracy when using AST, rub the puncture site more than 20 

seconds before extracting blood.

IMPORTANT : 

1 . The initial setting of the factory is mg/dL.

2 . If you use the wrong unit of measure, probably due to the detection of false values caused by medica-

tion errors, please consult your doctor, and then follow these steps to set up.

 Recall the Memory

The PBGM meter automatically stores 100 test results, When the memory is full, 

the oldest one memory value will be overwritten.

■ 

Deleting the Memory

The PBGM meter comes with ONE Lithium battery (battery type CR2032) .

Battery life will vary depending on usage, so always keep a spare battery on hand.  The 

battery should last about 1000 tests or 12 months when testing 3 times a day. 

When the battery symbol appears on the meter display, battery is getting low. You will still be 

able to test with low battery, but you should replace it as soon as possible.

When battery symbol and E-b shows up in the meter display, the meter will no longer give 

results and you must replace the battery immediately. Please always have one spare battery 

with you to ensure that you can replace the battery anytime.

1. Make sure the meter is turned off. Let the front of the meter

    rest in the palm of your hand. Slide battery cover open.

2. Insert new battery (battery type CR2032), being sure to

    align the plus (+) side up.

3. Close battery cover.

NOTE:

 

1. Replacing the battery does not affect the test result stored in memory. However the time and date may 

need to re-set by Medicare.(read the Medicare user guide )

2. As with all small objects, the battery should be kept away from small children as a safety precaution. If the 

battery is swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.

3. Batteries might leak chemicals if not used for a long time. Remove the batteries if  you are not going to 

use the device for extended (i.e., 3 months or more ).

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE USING.

The following basic safety precautions should always be taken.

1.   Close supervision is necessary when the device is used by, on, or 

near children and handicapped persons.

2.   The meter and lancing device are for single patient use. Do not share 

them with anyone including other family members! Do not use on 

multiple patients!

3.   All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially 

transmit infectious diseases, even after you have performed cleaning 

and disinfection.

4.   Use the device only for the intended use described in this manual.

5.   Do not use test strips and control solutions which are not supplied by 

the manufacturer.

6.   Do not use the device if it is not working properly, or if it has suffered 

any damage.

7.   Before using any product to test your blood glucose, read all 

instructions.

8.   Thoroughly practice the test. Do all quality control checks as directed 

and consult with a diabetes healthcare professional.

9.   Before starting measurements, please install battery, and download 

the Prodigy iConnect app program to set correct time and date, 

measurement unit and/or remove memory. 

10.  Use only Prodigy test strip and control solution with your Prodigy 

iConnect meter. Using other test strips and control solutions with this 

meter can produce inaccurate results.

11. Keep this user guide with you.

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.

Principle of Measurement

Blood glucose is measured by an electrical current that is produced when a 

blood samples mixes with the reagent (special chemicals) of the test strip. 

The electrical current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood 

sample. 

The meter measures the strength of the electrical current, calculates your 

blood glucose level and then displays your result in either milligrams of 

glucose per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles of glucose per liter (mmol/L).

       Caution 

1.   The user should not take any decision of medical relevance without first 

consulting his or her medical practitioner. 

2.   Call your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that are not 

consistent with your blood glucose test results.

3.   High altitudes above than 3,402 meter (11,161 ft) may affect the test 

results. 

4.   Temperatures outside the range of 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) may 

affect the test results. Do not test beyond of temperature range.

5.   Do not use this meter near cellular or cordless telephones in a call, 

walkie-talkies, garage door openers, radio transmitters, or other electrical 

or electronic equipment that are sources of electromagnetic, radiation, as 

these may interfere with the proper operation of the meter.

     IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION

1.   Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. 

Applying other substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.

2.   Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low 

results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, 

consult your healthcare professional immediately.

3.   Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)*1 indicates low blood 

glucose(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 

mmol/L)*2 indicates high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results 

are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), 

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.

5.   Do not use this meter near cellular or cordless telephones in a call, 

walkie-talkies, garage door openers, radio transmitters, or other electrical 

or electronic equipment that are sources of electromagnetic, radiation, as 

these may interfere with the proper operation of the meter.

     IMPORTANT HEALTH-RELATED INFORMATION

1.   Apply only capillary whole blood sample to test your blood glucose. 

Applying other substances or plasma, serum will cause wrong results.

2.   Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low 

results. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, 

consult your healthcare professional immediately.

3.   Test results below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L)*1 indicates low blood 

glucose(hypoglycemia). Test results greater than 240 mg/dL (13.3 

mmol/L)*2 indicates high blood glucose (hyperglycemia).If your results 

are below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), 

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.

4.   Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive individuals or 

patients in shock. Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals

ketosis. Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose 

meters.

5.   Abnormal red blood cell counts (hematocrit level below 20% or above 

60%) may cause false results. Please consult your healthcare 

professional if you do not know your hematocrit level.

6.   Interference: Reducing substances occurring in the blood naturally 

(uric acid, bilirubin) or from therapeutic treatments (ascorbic acid, 

acetaminophen) will not significantly affect Medicare test results. 

However, elevated concentrations of these substances may affect test 

results. The compounds listed in the tables were found to have no 

affect at the concentration indicated.
