Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site before
blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value
obtained.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of
blood:
Wash and dry your hands before starting.
Select the puncture site at fingertips.
4. Replace the cap by aligning the arrow on
the cap with the release button.
5. Select the depth of penetration by turning
the adjustable tip in either direction so that
the arrow on the cap points to the desired
depth.
6. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
You will see a color change inside the
release button when it is ready.
If it does not click, the device may have been cocked when the
lancet was inserted.
The lancing device is now ready for use. Set aside for later use.
Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol
and let it
air dry
.
Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
Hold your fingers on the body
NOT the cap.
