BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING
4. Replace the lancing device cap
Place the cap back onto the device; turn the cap or push the cap
straight in to secure it.
Ensure the cap is aligned as shown in the image.
Disposing of the used lancet and test strip
Discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid
unintended lancet stick injuries. Used lancets and test strips
may be considered biohazardous waste in your area. Be sure to
follow your healthcare professional's recommendations or local
regulations for proper disposal.
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the
meter, test strips, lancing device and cap.
It is important to use a new lancet each time you obtain a blood
sample. Do Not leave a lancet in the lancing device. This will
help prevent infection and sore fingertips.
