Test Site
Fingertips
Note:
Avoid areas near bones, areas with lots of hair, and squeezing the puncture site.
Bruising may occur at alternate sites, but will disappear quickly. If bruising occurs,
consider selecting another site.
Finger tip testing is different to alternative site testing. (Adjust the lancing device
accordingly for testing site. See lancing device instructions for use for more
information.)
IMPORTANT:
Wash your hands and the test site with warm soapy
water to ensure accurate results. Thoroughly dry your hands and the
test site. To warm the site, apply a warm dry pad or rub vigorously for a
few seconds.
