Beurer GL50 mg/dL 19

5.3 Taking a blood sample and measuring the glucose level

Warning

•

Change the puncture area each time you take a measurement, e.g. use a dierent ﬁnger or the other

hand. Repeatedly using the same area may cause inﬂammation or scarring.

•

If the cap is not in place, there is a risk of injury from the exposed lancet.

•

Do not squeeze your ﬁnger to obtain a larger drop of blood. If squeezed, the blood is diluted with

tissue ﬂuid and this may lead to an incorrect result.

•

Please note that insucient blood circulation at the puncture area, e.g. caused by cold temperatures

or illness, can lead to incorrect results.

Important

Do not apply any blood samples or control solutions to the test strip before inserting it in the moni-

tor.

cose monitor so that the display is facing you and the
