Mark a Single Blood Glucose Test So It Is Not
Sent To Your Paradigm
®
Model 512 or Higher Pump
If you want to take a single blood glucose measurement and not have that
result sent to your Paradigm
®
Model 512 or higher Pump, you can mark it as a
control solution test.
1. Insert a BD™ Test Strip into the test strip slot.
2. Match the code number on the display with the code on the test
strip vial.
3. A blinking blood drop tells you that the meter is ready for the
next step.
4. Press one of the arrow keys BEFORE applying blood to the test strip.
5. "C" will appear on the display indicating that the result is a control
solution test. After you apply blood or control solution to the test
strip, the result will not be sent to your pump. You may want to mark
a result as a control test if:
• you are using control solution on a test strip to test your meter
• you lend your meter to someone else and you do not want their
result to appear on your pump.
• you do not want to generate an RF signal, such as if you’ve been
asked to turn-off electronic devices on an aircraft.
A blood glucose result may only be marked for identification immediately after
the result appears on the display. Once the meter is turned off, the result
cannot be marked later. Marking allows you to identify specific blood glucose
test results or insulin doses in the meter’s memory.
• The Marking for Identification function is turned off when you receive your
new meter. To set up the Marking for Identification function, refer to page 37.
• For how to mark a blood glucose test, refer to page 32.
• For how to mark an insulin dose, refer to page 51.

reading and do not want the result added to
your averages.
