Blood Glucose Monitoring System
• Please follow your local healthcare provider’s recommendation regarding proper
disposal of used lancets.
• When performing a blood glucose test, use a new sterile lancet every time. If alcohol
wipes are used to cleanse the ngers, make sure the area is dry before the blood
sample is obtained.
Step 1.
Wash hands with soap and warm water and dry thoroughly. Warm water stimulates blood
ow to the ngers making it easier to obtain a sample.
Step 2.
Hang the arm down at the side for 10 to 15 seconds massaging through the wrist, palm,
and then nger. This can stimulate the blood ow to the nger more quickly.
Step 3.
Hold the lancing device or lancet against the side of the nger and lance the nger. Follow
manufacturer’s instruction for how the lancing device or lancet should be used.
TIP:
• To avoid soreness, select a site on the side of your ngertips. To avoid calluses, choose
a different site each time for obtaining the blood sample.
