TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE
Preparing your Lancing Device for Blood Glucose
Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for
collecting a blood sample.
To reduce the chance of infection:
■
Never share a lancet or the lancing device. GlucoRx Lancing
device is for
self-use only
.
■
Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
■
Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets
and the lancing device.
NOTE
Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before blood
extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value obtained.
Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably
different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the
puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was
significantly reduced.
* Select your puncture site either at fingertips or another body part
(please see section “Alternative Site Testing” (AST) on how to select
other appropriate sites).
* Hand wash the puncture site with warm water and dry thoroughly
before testing.
* Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
* Use a clear cap (included in kit) while setting up your lancing device.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
