Performing a blood glucose test
Obtaining a blood drop
In general, you can obtain blood from any finger. Certain fingers can be unsuitable if, for example, a skin
or fingernail infection is present. We recommend obtaining capillary blood from the sides of the fingertips
as these areas are the least sensitive to pain.
W
• Use a new lancet each time you obtain blood. This reduces the risk of infection and blood collection
remains virtually pain free.
• Only use the finger pricker when the cap is attached. If the cap is not attached, the lancet penetrates
too deeply and the puncture may cause discomfort.
2
Massage the finger in the
direction of the fingertip to
encourage a blood drop to form.
Apply the blood drop to the test
area immediately after you have
obtained the blood drop.
H
Do not wait before applying the
blood drop to the test area.
1
Press the finger pricker firmly
against the selected puncture
site.
Press the release button all the
way down.
The lancet is primed and
released in one step. The lancet
penetrates the skin.
The amount of blood that
emerges at the puncture site
depends on the penetration
depth and the pressure used to
hold the finger pricker against
the skin.
If not enough blood emerges,
apply more pressure with the
finger pricker the next time you
obtain blood. If that is not
sucient, increase the
penetration depth progressively
too.
If too much blood emerges,
reduce the penetration depth.
Always use a small, fresh and
well-formed blood drop.
