Warning
• If the protective disc on a lancet needle has already been removed, do not use the lancet needle.
• If you drop the lancing device with an inserted lancet needle, carefully pick it up and dispose of the
lancet.
Important
• Use the lancing device only with lancet needles from the same manufacturer. Using other lancet
needles may prevent the lancing device from working properly.
• If you are using a third-party lancing device, please read the respective instructions for use.
5.1 Preparing to take a blood sample
1
Using the lancing device, you can take a blood sample from the fingertip. To make the pro-
cedure as painless as possible, do not take samples directly from the centre of the fingertip,
but slightly to either side.
Warning
•
In the event of suspected hypoglycaemia: take blood from the fingertip only.
Reason: changes to blood glucose levels can be detected quickly in blood samples taken
from the fingertip.
2
Prepare the following items: monitor, test strip box or test strips in film packaging, lancing
device, sterile lancet needles.
