Section. Please consult your healthcare professional before
obtaining blood from sites other than your fingertip.
Caution: The Prodigy Preferred
TM
only requires a tiny sample of
blood to perform a test. Choose a different spot each time you
test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness
and calluses.
STEP 3: Obtain a Blood Sample
Do not smear the blood sample. To obtain the most
accurate results, wipe off the first drop of blood
and gently squeeze another drop of blood.
See Figures 25 and 26.
STEP 4: Remove the Lancet
Take the lancet out carefully. Place the protective
cap back on the exposed tip of the lancet.
*Always use caution when removing the lancet.
Discard the lancet according to your local regulations.
Warning: The first drop of blood usually contains
tissue fluid and serum, which may affect the test
result. It should be discarded.
