Lancing to take a blood sample

The lancing device can now be used to take a blood sample. Make

sure that the blood remains as a droplet and is not spread.

- Blood sample from the ﬁngertip

Firmly position the lancing device slightly to the side of the centre of

the ﬁngertip. Press the trigger. Remove the lancing device from the

ﬁnger. A round drop of blood of at least 0.6 microlitres (corresponds

to approx. 1.4 mm, original size:

) must have formed.

- Blood sample from other body parts (AST)

Find a soft area away from any bones, without any visible blood ves-

sels and with as little hair as possible. Warm the penetration area to

enhance circulation by gently massaging the area. Press and hold the

lancing device against the penetration area for a few seconds and

then press the trigger. Continue to hold the lancing device against the

skin until a round drop of blood has formed under the cap. Maintain

the pressure until the drop of blood reaches a size of at least 0.6 mi-

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

remove the lancing device from the skin.

Note

Only take blood from other areas of the body at the following

times:

•

On an empty stomach (more than two hours after most recent

meal).

•

At least two hours after administration of insulin.

•

At least two hours after physical activity.

lease also note the following:

•

If the blood glucose test results do not match how you feel, carry out another test using blood

from your ﬁngertip.

•

DO NOT change your treatment purely on the basis of a measurement that was carried out

using blood taken from an alternative area. Carry out another test with blood from your ﬁn-

gertip in order to conﬁrm the test result.

•

If you often fail to notice that you have a low blood glucose level, carry out a test using blood

from your ﬁngertip.

If necessary, repeat the process

If you do not obtain sucient blood, repeat the lancing process with a greater penetration

depth in a dierent area.
