5.1 Obtaining a blood sample
Preparing to take the blood sample
1
Choose a site on the body from where you wish to take the blood sample. You
can use the lancing device to take a blood sample from the fingertip or alterna-
tive sites such as the palm of the hand, forearm, upper arm, thigh, or calf. We
recommend that you take the blood sample from the fingertip. To make the
blood sample as pain-free as possible, do not take the blood directly from the
centre of the fingertip, but instead from slightly to the side of the centre.
WARNING
If you suspect hypoglycaemia: Always take blood from the
fingertip. This is because changes in blood sugar levels are mo-
re rapidly detected in blood from the fingertip.
Measurement at the fingertip and measurement at other body
sites (AST) can lead to considerably different measured values.
Always consult your doctor before starting to test at alternative
sites.
2
Have the following components ready: Measuring device, container of test strips,
lancing device, and a sterile needle lancet. If obtaining a blood sample from a
site other than the fingertip, you will also need the AST cap.
3
Before taking the sample, wash your hands using soap and warm water. In addi-
tion to optimal hygienic conditions, this is also ensures good circulation of blood
through the fingertips. Dry your hands carefully. Also ensure that your lancing site
is hygienically clean if taking a blood sample from an alternative site (AST).
WARNING
If you wipe the lancing site with alcohol, ensure that the site has
dried completely before beginning the measurement.
Taking the blood sample
WARNING
Change the lancing site for every test, e.g. use a different finger or the
other hand. Repeated lancing in the same location may lead to infections,
loss of sensation, or scarring.
Do not use the AST cap to take a blood sample from the finger.
Never squeeze the finger to obtain a larger droplet of blood. When squee-
zed, the blood is diluted with lymph from the tissues, which may lead to an
incorrect measurement result.
Note that inadequate circulation at the puncture site, for example caused
by cold or illness, can lead to inaccurate measurements.
