WARNING
If you drop the lancing device with a lancet inserted, pick it up carefully
and dispose of the lancet.

Use the lancing device with lancets from the manufacturer only. Using
different lancets may affect the function of the lancing device.
•
If the lancing device is from a different manufacturer, read its
Instructions for Use.
7.1 Taking a blood sample
Preparing to take the blood sample
1
Select part of body for blood sample. You can take blood samples with the
lancing device from the fingerprints or other parts of the body such as palm
of the hand, lower arm, upper arm, thigh or shin. We recommend taking
blood samples from the fingerprints. Apply the lancing device slightly off-
centre on the fingerprint, not the centre, for a less painful puncture.
WARNING
•
If hypoglycaemia is suspected: always take blood from
the fingerprint.
Reason: changes in the blood glucose level can
be measured quickly in blood samples taken from the fingerprints.
•
Blood samples from the fingerprints and samples from other
parts of the body (AST) may have significantly different
results. Always consult your doctor before starting testing at
other parts of the body.
