Cleaning and Disinfection
• The lancet is disposable and is intended for single use only.
• The lancing device is reusable.
• We recommend for lancing device cleaning and disinfection, you should use
Micro-Kill+™ (Micro-Kill Plus™), and please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more
information about the cleaning and disinfection procedures with a disinfecting wipe.
• DO NOT rinse the device under water.
• Do NOT place the device in a dishwasher or use detergents.
Before collecting a drop of blood:
► Wash and dry your hands before you start.
► Select the puncture site at the fingertip.
► Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
► Clean the site using cotton swab moistened with 70% alcohol and let it air dry.
NOTE
Alternative Site Testing (AST)
7.
Lancing the finger
Press the lancing device’s tip firmly
against the lower side of your fingertip.
Press the release button to prick your
finger, then a click indicates that the
puncture is complete.
8.
Remove the device from the puncture
site. After penetration, remove the first
drop of blood with a clean cotton swab.
Gently squeeze the punctured area to
obtain another drop of blood. Be careful
NOT to smear the blood sample. Apply the
blood to the test strip.
10.
Slide the ejector forward to remove the
used lancet. Dispose of the lancet
according to your local regulations.
► For collecting blood samples from
sites other than the fingertip, use the
clear cap.
Testing on sites other than the fingertip is referred to as alternative site testing (AST).
Please read the
Alternative Site Testing
section in your Owner’s Manual before you
perform AST. Substitute the lancing device cap with the clear cap for alternative site
testing. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks. When lancing the forearm, upper arm,
or hand, avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins in order to prevent excess bleeding.
9.
Remove the lancet by twisting the cap
off first. Safely dispose of the used lancet
by placing the protective disk on a hard
surface, and pushing the exposed tip into
the disk.
This option is not available for all
devices. Refer to the
Intended Use
in
your meter’s Owner’s Manual if you can
perform AST with your device.
