WARNING
If you drop the lancing device with a lancet inserted, pick it up carefully and
dispose of the lancet.
CAUTION
•
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.
5.1 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.
2 Have the following at hand: monitor, container with test strips, lancing device,
sterile lancet. You will also need the AST cap if you are taking samples from
other parts of the body.
