Taking a test
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.
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.
