Chapter 2: Testing Your Blood Glucose
Performing a Blood Glucose Test
Before you perform your first blood glucose test, set up the meter correctly.
You need the meter, test strip, code chip and an Accu-Chek Multiclix Finger Pricker
and Accu-Chek Multiclix Lancet Drum.

The Accu-Chek Multiclix Finger Pricker is intended for patient
self-monitoring by an individual person only. It must not be used to collect
blood in a multi-patient setting as it does not incorporate any features to
guard against cross-infection.
Any object coming into contact with human blood is a potential source of
infection (see: Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute: Protection of
Laboratory Workers from Occupationally Acquired Infections; Approved
Guideline – Third Edition; CLSI document M29-A3, 2005).
