Prepare your lancing device in 3 easy steps.
1. Snap off the cap of the lancing device at an angle,
and
insert a new lancet firmly into the white holder cup. This action
may cock the device, which is fine.
2. With one hand, hold the lancet in place
while twisting off
the rounded top with your other hand. Then replace the cap
until it snaps back into place. Make sure you do not touch the
exposed needle.
3. Set the Depth Setting;
the lancing device offers 9 different
settings (including half settings). Level 1 is the shallowest depth;
Level 5 is the deepest. Use a lower number to lance. Pull back
the the grey slider until it clicks. (You may have already cocked the
device in step 1)
You’re now ready to test!
Lancing device depicted is representive only. Please follow the instructions included with your specific

again.
b. The PDM will display a code number once you insert the strip.
This code must match the code on the side of the vial to ensure
test accuracy. To change this code, just press the
Up/Down
Controller
to change the numbers until they match.
WARNING:
The code number
on the screen must
match the code
number on the side
of your test strip vial.
They must always
match or your results
will be inaccurate.
1. From some PDM screens, you cannot access the FreeStyle blood glucose meter. For example, you cannot use the meter while you are activating a Pod or when an
alert, alarm, or communication error screen is displayed. In these cases, if you insert a test strip, the PDM beeps to alert you.
2. If you do not start the test within 2 minutes, the PDM powers off. To restart the PDM, take out the unused strip and reinsert it, or simply press and hold the
Power
button to turn on the PDM.
3. If you need to adjust the code number after the PDM has moved to the next screen, just press
Up/Down Controller
buttons. The code screen reappears and you can
adjust the number. The code number remains on the PDM screen for your reference until you have completed the BG test.
