The POGO Automatic Monitor, unlike traditional blood glucose meters, lets you check your blood glucose with the press of a button; no separate lancing device or separate test strip is required. You simply press the test port for automatic lancing and blood collection and after a short countdown receive a blood glucose result.

The POGO Automatic Monitor and POGO Automatic Test Cartridge together make up the POGO Automatic Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Everything you need to test your blood glucose is contained in the POGO Automatic Test Cartridge. No separate lancing device or separate test strip is required. Each cartridge integrates 10 test strips and 10 lancets.

The POGO Automatic Blood Glucose Monitoring System is indicated for use in adults and adolescents (13 and up).

The POGO Automatic Monitor is unique because it is the first and only FDA-cleared, One-Step™, automatic blood glucose monitoring system with 10-test cartridge technology that ends the need for separate test strips and lancets. In just one step, POGO Automatic lances your finger, collects your blood, and provides a blood glucose result in seconds.

If your POGO Automatic Monitor is lost, we can help you purchase a new one. Please contact Customer Support via email at support@presspogohelp.com or call 1-855-IMI-POGO (464-7646).

Patterns is not required to use your POGO Automatic Monitor, but Patterns is an excellent tool to view, track, and share the blood glucose results from your POGO Automatic Monitor.

Like all meters, POGO Automatic requires a two-step cleaning and disinfecting process. We designed the monitor to make this as easy as possible: you can remove the test platform from the monitor for cleaning.

Please refer to your POGO Automatic Owner’s Manual for more information.

Blood glucose meters are expected to have an accuracy of ±15% compared to the value on a laboratory-based reference system. Accuracy requirements are provided in the FDA’s guidance entitled “Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose

Test System for Over-the-Counter Use.” As explained in the cartridge package insert, the POGO Automatic Monitor meets the expected ±15% accuracy.

If you have questions about the accuracy of POGO Automatic or wish to order control solutions at no cost to you, please contact Customer Support at support@presspogohelp.com or call 1-855-IMI-POGO (464-7646).

No. Continuous glucose monitoring is a very different technology. It requires a user to wear a sensor and transmitter, which takes continuous samples of interstitial fluid to produce a sensor glucose value. POGO Automatic is an automatic blood glucose monitor. POGO Automatic integrates the test strip and lancing device within a 10-test cartridge, which allows you to produce a blood glucose result in one step.

You can receive a refund within 15 calendar days of your order if the tamperproof seal on the monitor box is intact (i.e., the box hasn’t been opened).

If you are not getting blood from the fingerstick, consider a different level. Higher levels bring skin closer to the lance. Additionally, if getting a fingerstick is uncomfortable for you, consider a different level.  Lower levels result in skin being further from the lance.

With the Quick Lance option, you are in control when the fingerstick happens, turn on the option to get an immediate fingerstick or keep the setting off to get a fingerstick after countdown.

POGO Automatic is indicated for human use only.

We designed our POGO Automatic Cartridge bundles to provide flexibility in daily testing needs.

If you think you’re going to use up your monthly cartridge order or you already have, we’re here to help. You can make a one-time purchase of one or more additional POGO Automatic Test Cartridges to ensure that you have enough tests until your next subscription order arrives.

When you insert a new cartridge, the following symbol will appear. It means you have that amount of days shown on the meter display to use all tests in that 10-test cartridge.

You must use the cartridge within 15 days of opening the cup. If you don’t, the cartridge will display an expired symbol on your POGO monitor screen.

Each lancet is coated with a tiny amount (<0.24IU) of heparin, which keeps the collected blood from clotting inside the test cell until your results appear. Before using this device, let your doctor know if you are allergic to heparin or have ever been diagnosed with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). HIT is a very rare condition that causes blood clots. Stop using the device and contact your doctor if you notice unexplained swelling in one arm or leg, sudden severe chest pain or shortness of breath, or stroke symptoms.
