Select the penetration depth

You can set seven di erent penetration depths on the lancing device

using the dial with raised bars. The length of the bar represents the re-

quired penetration depth.

•

1 to 2: soft or thin skin

•

3 to 5: normal skin

•

6 to 7: thick or callous skin

Turn the dial until the required bar is in the centre of the black marking.

Tension the lancing device

Pull the slider in the direction of the arrow (to the right in the image) un-

til it stops and then release. The slider automatically springs back into

position. The lancing device is now tensioned.

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 ﬁ nger or the other

hand. Repeatedly using the same area may cause inﬂ ammation or scarring.

•

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

•

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

tissue ﬂ uid 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 monitor.

Prepare the test strip

Take a test strip from the box/ﬁ lm packaging and immediately close it again. Use the test strip

within three minutes of removal.

Insert test strip

Take the monitor in your left hand. Hold the blood glu-

cose monitor so that the display is facing you and the

Beurer logo is on the right-hand side.

Insert the test strip into the slot on the rear end of the

blood glucose monitor with the contacts ﬁ rst. Make

sure that the front of the test strip is facing you. You can

touch any part of the test strip with clean, dry hands.
