This easy to use Talking Blood Glucose Monitoring System allows users to take measurements wherever and whenever. Small, lightweight and convenient, your biggest decision will be which pocket to carry it in. With no coding required, this unit is easy to use and guides you from setup through results by speaking to you. Languages available are English, Spanish, French and Arabic. Simply insert a test strip into the test strip port and the unit will automatically power on. Accurate results are delivered in 7 seconds. Even better? Because only a small blood sample size is needed, the Prodigy Pocket is approved for Alternate Site Testing (AST). A standard USB port is included, allowing results to be easily downloaded to Prodigy's free diabetes management software. Additionally, the unit's memory can recall up to 450 tests, each with date and time. Please note the Prodigy Pocket comes complete with everything needed to get started: the meter, batteries, strips, lancets, lancing device, control solution, a carrying case and an instruction guide that includes the owner's manual, logbook and quick reference guide. Memory provides 7, 14, and 28-day test result averages. Fresh battery should have a lifespan of approximately 1,000 tests. This meter doesn't require fingertip blood. AST is approved for this unit, so users can now test blood from their palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh. To help conserve power and save battery life, the unit automatically shuts off after one minute of inactivity. To clean, wipe the outside of the meter using a damp cloth with mild detergent mixed with water or rubbing alcohol.
