TESTING WITH BLOOD SAMPLE

Preparing the Lancing Device for Blood Testing
Please follow the instructions in the lancing device insert for collecting a
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.
• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before and after handling the meter,
lancing device and test strips to prevent infection. For more information,
please refer to the "Cleaning and Disinfection" section.
• If the meter is being operated by a person who is providing testing assistance
to the user, the meter and lancing device should be decontaminated prior to
use by that person.
Sharing the lancing device and lancets may increase the risk of
spreading infectious diseases. Lancing device must not be used on
more than one person.

Preparing the Puncture Site

Rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant
influence on the accuracy of your test results.
Blood from an alternate 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.
