Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires only a 0.4
μL blood sample which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm (at base of the
thumb) or forearm. Before testing, choose a clean, dry work surface. Familiarize
yourself with the procedure and make sure you have all the items needed to obtain
a drop of blood.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to testing, wipe the test site with an alcohol swab or soapy
water. Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary. Then dry your hands
and the test site thoroughly. Make sure there is no alcohol, soap, cream or lotion
on the test site.
Potential Biohazard
All blood glucose measuring systems are considered bio-hazardous. All products
or objects which come in contact with human blood, even after cleaning, should be
handled as if capable of transmitting viral diseases. The meter and lancing device
are for single patient use. Do not share them with anyone including other family
members! Do not use on multiple patients. All parts of the kit are considered
bio-hazardous and can potentially transmit infectious disease, even after you have
performed cleaning and disinfection. Always wash your hands well with soap and
water before and after handling the meter, lancing device, or test strip.
