Sampling Blood From The Fingertip:

 

  • Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
  • Before testing, wash your hands and the sample site with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Contaminants on the skin may affect results.

 

1. Puncture your finger.
  • Hold the lancing device firmly against the side of your finger.
  • Press the release button.
  • Remove the lancing device from your finger.

 
2. Get a round drop of blood.
  • Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood forms.
  • Note: If the blood smears or runs, Do Not use that sample. Dry the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or puncture a new site.
