Please review these tips for
getting a good drop of blood.
Increasing the blood flow in your
finger will help you get a good
drop of blood:
• Warm your hand. Hold it under
your arm, use a hand warmer,
and/or wash with warm water.
• Let your arm hang by your side.
• Massage your finger from its
base.
Use these techniques until your
fingertip has good colour.
1. Wash Hands
Wash your hands in warm,
soapy water. Make sure your
fingertip is thoroughly dry.
2. Get Ready
Take a test strip out of the
container. Close the container
tightly. Note: You have 10
minutes to use a test strip once
you remove it from the container.
