CAUTION: To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with 
warm, soapy water and dry before every test. Make sure 
there is no grease, oil or lotion on the test site. Use lancets 
only once. Do not use any lancet or lancing device that has 
been used by another person. Unwashed hands may lead to 
inaccurate results.

How to test your blood glucose level:

[1] Preparing the AgaMatrix Lancing Device:

Remove Lancing Device Cap: 

Snap off the cap from the lancing 
device.

Insert New Lancet:

Insert a new AgaMatrix Lancet firmly into 

the lancet holder cup. Pushing the 
lancet into the lancet holder cup 
may cock the device; this is OK.

Twist the Lancet Cover Off :

 Hold the lancet firmly in place 

with one hand and use your other hand to twist off the lancet 
cover. Do not discard the lancet 
cover. It should be used when 
discarding your used lancet.

Replace Lancing Device Cap:

Replace the lancing device 

cap until it snaps into place. 
Be careful not to touch the 

exposed needle on the lancet.

Set the Lancing Level:

 The AgaMatrix Lancing 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. 
If necessary, set the depth level to a deeper 
setting to produce enough blood to fill the 
test strip (0.5 μL).

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 Jazz Test Strip: 

Insert a new 

AgaMatrix Jazz Test Strip into the test 
strip port of 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 5 minutes, the meter will 
be deactivated. To reactivate your meter, take out the unused 
AgaMatrix Jazz Test Strip and reinsert it into the meter

.

Meter Ready for Test:

The meter now displays the droplet 

symbol and the word “Fill”. The AgaMatrix Jazz System is 
now ready for you to apply blood. You do not need to set a 
calibration code for this meter.
