Lancet Precautions
•
Do not use the lancet if the safety tab is missing or loose when you take the
lancet out of the bag.
•
Do not use the lancet if the needle is bent.
•
Use caution whenever the lancet needle is exposed.
•
Never share lancets or the lancing device with other people.
•
In order to reduce the risk of infection from prior use of the instrument, always
use a new, sterile lancet. Do not reuse lancets.
•
Avoid getting the lancing device or lancets dirty with hand lotion, oils, dirt or
debris.
•
For Alternative Site Testing (AST), if the current lancets are not obtaining
enough blood due to skin or other conditions, please contact Customer
Support at 1-800-838-9502 for information on different lancet options.
