Warning

• If the protective disc on a lancet needle has already been removed, do not use the lancet needle.

• If you drop the lancing device with an inserted lancet needle, carefully pick it up and dispose of

the lancet.

Important

•

Use the lancing device only with lancet needles from the same manufacturer. Using other lancet

needles may prevent the lancing device from working properly.

•

If you are using a third-party lancing device, please read the accompanying Instructions for use.

5.1 Preparing to take a blood sample

Choose a part of the body from which to take a blood sample

The lancing device is intended for taking blood samples from the ﬁngertip or other body parts

such as the palm of the hand, forearm or upper arm. We recommend taking blood samples

from the ﬁngertip. To make the procedure as painless as possible, do not take samples directly

from the centre of the ﬁngertip, but slightly to either side.

Warning

•

In the event of suspected hypoglycaemia: take blood from the ﬁngertip only. Reason:

changes to blood glucose levels can be detected quickly in blood samples taken from the

ﬁngertip.

•

Blood samples from the ﬁngertip and samples taken from another body part (AST) may pro-

duce completely dierent results. It is essential to seek medical advice before taking meas-

urements from other body parts.

Prepare all parts

Prepare the following items: GL50 evo blood glucose monitor (A), test strip box or test strips

in ﬁlm packaging (D) and sterile lancet needles (E). You will also need the AST cap for meas

urements on other parts of the body (B).

Make sure that the sliding switch for on/o is in the “on” position .

Wash your hands

Wash your hands with soap and warm water before taking a blood sample. This not only en

sures optimal hygiene but also encourages good blood circulation at the puncture area on the

ﬁnger. Dry your hands carefully. Also ensure that the puncture area is hygienically clean when

taking blood samples from other body parts (AST).

Warning

If you have used alcohol for cleaning, ensure that the area has fully dried prior to measuring.
