TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE
WARNING:
To reduce the chance of infection:
• Never share a lancet or the lancing device.
• 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.
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.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
● Wash and dry your hands before starting.
● Select the puncture site either at fingertips or another body parts
(please see section
“
Alternative Site Testing
”
(AST) on how to
select the appropriate sites).
Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood
Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting
a blood sample.
