Obtaining a Blood Sample
Blood Glucose Testing
Before testing, you need the
following items:
•
iPet PRO blood glucose meter
•
iPet PRO test strip
•
Adjustable automatic lancing
device and sterile lancet
Preparing the test strip
1. Take a test strip from the vial and
re-cap the vial immediately.
2. Insert the test strip, top side
facing up, into the test port.
The meter will automatically
turn on (Fig. 24). The meter will
memorize the previously selected
animal type and a code number
will be displayed (Fig.25).
Note:
If you are using the meter for
the first time without coding the
meter, a “000” will appear on the
screen (Fig.26) and then turn off
automatically after 2 minutes.
You may not proceed to do any
testing unless the meter is coded
.
Reminder:
Make sure that the code number on
the display matches the code number
displayed on the test strip vial. If the
numbers do not match, please code
the meter by using a new glucode
chip supplied with the test strip vial.
Insert glucode chip into the meter
until a new code appears on the
screen. This should match the code
on the test strip vial label (Fig.27).
3. A beep will sound, and a code
number will appear, followed by a
flashing icon. You can press
or to select the meal indicator
for marking the test as Pre-meal
, or Post-meal test
, or no
marker (default) (Fig.28).
4. A blood sample can now
be obtained.

depth setting.

until you hear a ‘click’ sound.
6. Place the lancing device firmly
against the animal paw or
marginal ear vein and press
the release button to obtain
a blood sample.
