HOW TO OBTAIN A DROP OF BLOOD
To perform a measurement with MULTICAREIN system, it is necessary to collect a drop of capillary blood
according to the following procedure:
1. Wash the hands with soap and hot water to increase the blood flow at the fingertips to ease the blood
collection. Dry well the hands and check that the finger to be pricked is completely dried. Do not apply
disinfectant or beauty cream before the finger pricking.
2. Prepare the lancing device that is inside the MULTICAREIN meter box by inserting a sterile lancet. Use a
new and not damaged lancet, for each prick and use the lancing device only on yourself.
3. Before the inserting, check if the lancet and the
protective cap are intact. Only an intact protective cap
can guarantee a sterile lancet. Keep the protective cap to
seal the lancet after use.
Read carefully the instructions for use of the lancing
device contained in the device kit.
