Continue holding the blood sampler against
the skin for a few seconds until the blood
drop forms. Allow enough blood to form
under the cap until you have a blood
sample that is sufficient to fill the
confirmation window of the test strip
( actual size). If you must massage the
area to obtain more blood, do not squeeze
the site excessively.
Allow Blood Drop to Form.
If bruising occurs, you may choose to lance a
fingertip instead. If you are having difficulty obtaining
blood from the arm, call LifeScan Customer
Services at 1 800 227-8862.
Note: Blood is applied to the test strip in the same
manner as described on page 26–27. However, you
may find it more convenient to hold the forearm
still and bring the meter and test strip to the blood
sample.
