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 Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting
a blood sample.
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 is rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference is
significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
● Wash and dry your hands before starting.
● Clean the puncture site at marginal ear or paw pad.
● Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
● Marginal ear/ Paw pad testing (j)
Press the lancing device's tip firmly against your cat or dog's skin.
Press the release button to prick their skin; a click indicates that
the puncture is complete.
