Tips for Applying Blood to Test Strips without Sight

Usingthefollowingve(5)tipsmayhelpyouplaceabloodsample

into the test strip successfully if you have little or no vision.

The examples describe two (2) ways to bring the sample and the

test strip together. Other techniques may work just as well.

Keep experimenting until you have a technique that consistently works

for you.

Tip One —Smaller has its Advantages

Because the Prodigy Voice

meter is so easy to move around, you can

experiment with many different approaches to determine which works

best for you. Get comfortable holding the meter in one hand while

testing.Themetercanbemovedtowardsyourngeraseasilyasyour

ngercanbemovedtotheteststrip.

Tip Two —Aim for the Tip

The tip of the test strip contains an opening to the absorbent channel

in the center where the blood should be applied. The absorbent

channel draws the blood into the test strip, much like a straw, when the

tip touches the blood sample. Blood should be applied only on the very

tip. Blood applied to the bottom or sides of the test strip may cause

inaccurate readings. It is important that the test strip does not bend at

all when applying the sample.

Tip Three —Using a Sideways Approach

When testing, it may be helpful to rest or hold the meter on one side

one end and the side with the buttons faces towards you.

repositioned so the sample touches the absorbent opening at the end

of the test strip. Notice how the meter can be positioned

so that the test strip can be sticking out to the left or to the right.

This allows for either hand to be used for testing.

Tip Four —Example 1

• Step 1—Place the meter on one side in front of you on a table with

the test strip pointing to the left.

• Step2—Gentlysqueezeangeronthelefthandandobtain

a sample.

• Step3—Bringyourngertowardthetipoftheteststripfromthe

bottom.Placethepuncturesiteonyourngertothetipofthe

test strip.

• Step 4—If you do not make contact with the blood and the meter

doesnotbeginthetest,whilekeepingthengerincontactwith

the test strip, lift the rounded end of the meter from the table so

theroundendoftheteststripisushwiththesample.

• Step 5—Move the test strip slightly, if necessary, until you hear

the meter beep then say “now testing.” Hold the meter

in place until you hear the test result. This procedure can be

used with either hand by starting with the meter resting on the

other side.

Tip Four —Example 2

• Step2—Puncturethenger.

• Step3—Holdthemeterinyourhand.Placeyourindexnger

under the test strip to help you guide the meter to where you

have poked.
