Preparing for the measurement
Cleanliness
The easiest way of collecting a blood drop is by firstly washing
the hands with warm and soapy water, let them dry completely
afterwards. This supports blood circulation in the finger tips.
The puncture site can alternatively be wiped with an alcohol-
soaked swab. Please ensure that the site is completely dry before
collecting the blood sample.
Taking the blood sample from clean finger tips prevents incorrect
blood glucose measurements due to residues on skin surface of
the fingertip. E.g. contact with food (especially fruits), alcohol,
sweat and dirt before testing can distort the results.
