Preparing your Lancing device
CAUTION
• Lancets are for single use only.
XAC
Always use a new, sterile lancet each time you perform
the test.
• DO NOT share your lancing device or lancets with other people. Sharing or reusing lancets
can lead to disease transmission.
• Dispose of used lancets properly in biohazardous waste.
• If alcoholic wipes are used to cleanse the fingers, make sure the area is dry before the blood
sample is obtained.
Step 1: Wash the puncture site with soap and warm water and
dry thoroughly. Warm water stimulates blood flow making it
easier to obtain a sample.
Step 2: Hang the arm down at the side for 10 to 15 seconds
massaging through the wrist, palm, and then finger. This can
stimulate the blood flow more quickly.
