until it snaps into place. Be careful not to touch the exposed
needle on the lancet.
Set the Lancing Level: The AgaMatrix Lanc-
ing Device offers 8 depth settings. Rotate the
dial to the desired setting as shown in the
depth indicator window. Level 1 is the most
shallow; level 8 is the deepest. If you have
never lanced before, it is recommended that
you start at level 3.
Cock the Handle: Pull the
cocking handle out until it
clicks. You may have already
cocked the handle accidentally while inserting the lancet; this
is OK. The lancing device is now ready for use.
[2] Insert an AgaMatrix Presto Test Strip:
Insert a new AgaMatrix Presto Test Strip into
the meter.
Make sure you insert the test strip, with the
contact bars facing up, into the test strip port.
The meter will be activated when the test strip
is fully inserted.
Note: If you do not start the test within 3 minutes,
the meter will be deactivated. To reactivate your
meter, take out the unused AgaMatrix Presto Test
Strip and reinsert it into the meter.
Meter Ready For Test: The meter now displays
the blood drop and test strip symbols. The
AgaMatrix Presto System is now ready for you to apply blood.
You do not need to set a calibration code for this meter.
[3] Lancing: To ensure accurate results, wash hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every glucose test. For
details on possible test sites, refer to chapter 3, “Important
Information About Your AgaMatrix Presto System.”
For instructions on how to test on your palm or forearm,
please refer to chapter 8, “Testing On Your Palm or Forearm.”
Note: Keep your hand warm or gently massage the site you are
lancing to stimulate blood flow.
Lance Test Site: Press the lanc-
ing device against the site to be
lanced. Press the release button.
Express Blood Drop: Wipe away
the first blood drop that appears
using a clean tissue or paper
towel. Squeeze from the base of
your finger up towards the tip,
until a second small blood drop
forms. Do not squeeze directly
around the lanced area.
