measurement
Warning
• If the protective disc on a lancet needle has already been removed, do not use the lancet needle.
• If you drop the lancing device with an inserted lancet needle, carefully pick it up and dispose of the
lancet.
Important
• Use the lancing device only with lancet needles from the same manufacturer. Using other lancet nee-
dles may prevent the lancing device from working properly. The instructions for use for the lancing
device can be found in section 12.
• If you are using a third-party lancing device, please read the respective Instructions for Use.
5.1 Preparing to take a blood sample
1
Using the lancing device, you can take a blood sample from the fingertip. To make the pro-
cedure as painless as possible, do not take samples directly from the centre of the fingertip,
but slightly to either side.
Warning
•
In the event of suspected hypoglycaemia: take blood from the fingertip only.
Reason: changes to blood glucose levels can be detected quickly in blood samples taken
from the fingertip.
2
Prepare the following items: monitor, test strip box, lancing device, sterile lancet needles.
3
Wash your hands with soap and warm water before taking a blood sample. This not only en-
sures optimal hygiene but also encourages good blood circulation at the puncture area on the
finger. Dry your hands carefully.
Warning
If you have used alcohol for cleaning, ensure that the area has fully dried prior to measuring.
5.2 Taking a blood sample
Warning
• Change the puncture area for each measurement, e.g. a different finger or the other hand. Repeat-
edly using the same area may cause inflammation, numbness or scarring.
• Without the cap, there is a danger of injury from the exposed lancet.
• Do not squeeze your finger to obtain a larger drop of blood. If squeezed, the blood is diluted with tis-
sue fluid and this may lead to an incorrect measurement.
• Please note that insufficient blood circulation at the puncture area, e.g. caused by cold temperatures
or illness, may lead to incorrect results.
