d. Continue to hold FIRMLY and press the release button to lance the area.
e. Continue to hold the device, pressing FIRMLY until a proper blood drop
forms. The clear cap allows you to see the blood drop.
f. Apply blood drop to the edge of the sensor. The blood is drawn into the
sensor. Hold the sensor to the blood drop until you hear a short beep or see
the meter begin to count down.
g. The blood glucose test result is displayed and stored. The test is complete.
Note : thick hair at the sample site may cause the blood drop to smear.
Warning: the blood in the sensor should look similar to the red blood you are
accustomed to seeing when you test your finger. If the sample looks clear, pink, or
light in colour, retest with a fingertip sample.
Note: if you get an error message when testing on your forearm or palm or do not
get a blood glucose reading after multiple attempts, test on your finger.
6.4 Forearm and Palm Testing: Limitations and Considerations
Results from the forearm may be different from fingertip results when glucose levels are changing rapidly,
e.g. after a meal, after taking insulin, or during or after exercise
(1)
. In contrast, the glucose results obtained
testing blood samples from the palm were shown to be equivalent to those obtained using finger samples
under all testing conditions
(2, 3)
.
Only use finger or palm testing when the glycemic levels are expect to change rapidly.
Do not use forearm testing:
• For a blood β-ketone test
• For at least 2 hours after you have eaten or injected insulin
