Taking the blood sample

Warning

• Change the prick point for each test, e.g. another finger or the other hand. Repeated

pricks at the same point can lead to inflammation, numbness or scars.

• 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. Squeezing causes intersti-

tial fluid to dilute the blood; this can lead to a false measurement result.

• Note that inadequate circulation at the puncture site, for example caused by cold or

illness, can lead to inaccurate measurements.

1 Twist to remove the cap from the lancing device.

2 Place a sterile needle lancet in the lancing device and

push the lancet firmly into place.

3 Remove the protective disc from the lancet by twisting

while holding the shaft of the lancet firmly. Retain the

protective disc so that you can safely dispose of the

used needle lancet after taking the blood sample.

You will need to use a different cap depending on the

site from which you want to take the sample:

Fingertip: Cap (white)

Other parts of the body: AST cap (transparent)

Place the selected cap on the lancing device and twist it

into place.
