ATTENTION
The sensor and the measuring device must
be at the same temperature when performing
a test. If you take the sensor container out
of the fridge, you must wait for at least
20minutes until the sensor container has
reached the ambient temperature before you
open the container. If you take the sensor
container out of the freezer, you must wait
for at least 2 hours until the sensor container
has reached the ambient temperature. Only
remove sensors to be used immediately
for testing purposes. Reseal the container
immediately after removing the sensor. Never
leave the container open.
2.2 Blood collection and test
Wash your fingers or earlobes with clean
water at the puncture site. You can use the
spray bottle supplied with the accessories for
this purpose. Dry the puncture site. In order
to take a capillary blood sample, puncture the
site using a suitable lancet.
Wipe away the first droplet of blood. Apply
gentle pressure to the puncture site. The
second droplet must be large enough to fill
the measurement chamber of the sensor
in one go.
WARNING
Avoid pressing on the puncture site too
heavily as sweat and/or tissue fluid can merge
with the droplet of blood and falsify the test
result.
The droplet of blood must not run. Bring the
fingertip with the droplet of blood close to
thetip of the sensor that has been inserted in
the measuring device. The sensor now draws
blood into the measuring chamber
