Lancing to take a blood sample
The lancing device can now be used to take a blood
sample. Make sure that the blood remains as a droplet
and is not spread.
Blood sample from the fingertip
Firmly position the lancing device slightly to the side of
the centre of the fingertip. Press the trigger. Remove the
lancing device from the finger. A round drop of blood of
at least 0.6 microlitres (corresponds to approx. 1.4 mm
in diameter, original size: ) must have formed.
Please also note the following:
• If the blood glucose test results do not match how you feel, carry out another test using blood
from your fingertip.
• DO NOT change your treatment purely on the basis of a measurement that was carried out
using blood taken from an alternative area. Carry out another test with blood from your fingertip
in order to confirm the test result.
• If you often fail to notice that you have a low blood glucose level, carry out a test using blood
from your fingertip.

If necessary, repeat the lancing process
If you do not obtain sufficient blood, repeat the lancing process with a greater penetration
depth in a different area.

Apply blood to the test strip
Turn the monitor by 180°. Hold the blood input gap
(at the tip of the test strip) to the drops of blood until the
gap is completely filled and the monitor in the display
starts counting backwards.
Do not press the penetration area to the test strip.
The blood must not be spread. The blood is sucked into
the gap.
OK
Note
Error message “Error 2” appears on the display if the gap was not correctly and sufficiently filled
with blood. Repeat the measurement using a new test strip and a greater penetration depth.
