Pull back the tensioning device until you hear it click into

place.

If it does not engage, the lancing device may have uninten-

tionally already been tensioned when inserting the needle

lancet and could already be engaged.

The lancing device can now be used to take the blood sam-

ple.

Ensure that the blood remains in a droplet form and is not

smeared.

Blood sample from the ﬁngertip

Place the lancing device ﬁrmly against the ﬁnger, slightly to

the side of the centre of the ﬁngertip. Press the release but-

ton.

Lift the lancing device from the ﬁnger. You need a round

blood drop of at least 0.6 microlitres to form (corresponds to

approx. 1.4 mm, original size: ).

Blood sample from an alternative site (AST)

Choose a site that is soft, not next to a bone, with no visible

veins and without excessive body hair. Warm the puncture

site to ensure good circulation, for example by lightly mas-

saging

the area. Place and hold the lancing device against the

puncture site for a few seconds and press the release button.

Continue to hold the lancing device against your skin until a

round droplet of blood has formed under the cap. Keep ap-

plying pressure until the size of the blood drop is at least 0.6

microlitres (corresponds to approx. 1.4 mm, original size: ).

Lift the lancing device carefully away from the skin.

If insucient blood was collected, increase the puncture

depth and repeat steps 5 to 7.

Untwist the cap and carefully remove it from the lancing

device.
