[Diabetes-talk] testing with the prodigy voice

Tue Apr 14 14:54:10 UTC 2009

Hello,

I have attached a word document written by the NFB on tips for applying
blood to the test strip with the Prodigy Voice.

I hope this helps!

Dan:

After I stick my finger, I press gently on it and do a quick wipe off on
a 
paper towel. Next, I place my hand so it is palm side facing up and
continue 
to squeeze the finger tip a fews times until I think there's a decent
size 
drop.  My palm is still facing up and the back of my hand resting
lightly on 
the table.

With my clean hand, I pick up the meter and bring the meter over to the 
finger, as near to the fingertip's area where the puncture is.  I let
the 
edge of the strip touch the side of the finger tip.  Only then do I turn
the 
punctured finger so the fingertip will face down and let the sample run
or 
drop onto the front, top edge  portion of the test strip.

So far as I know the test area is on the front, top edge of the strip.
I 
don't think its so much on the top surface as it is right on the edge.
I 
don't recall hearing it described very well in the manual.

Hope this helps.

Eileen
