Recommendations for
Obtaining A Blood Drop
•Before you obtain a blood
sample from the fingertip,
make sure the sample site is
clean, dry, and warm. To
warm the sample site, wash it
in warm water or rub the skin
vigorously for a few seconds.
•Hang your arm down before
pricking your fingertip to help
blood flow.
•Avoid squeezing the fingertip.
•Apply the blood sample to the
test strip immediately.
