Prior to testing, clean your hands with an alcohol wipe or wash your hands with soap.
Use warm water to increase blood flow in your fingers if necessary. Dry your hands
thoroughly. Massage the hand from the wrist up to the fingertip a few times to
encourage blood flow.

Hold the lancing device against the side of the finger to be lanced with the cover
resting on the finger. Push the release button to prick your fingertip. You may hear a
click as the lancing device activates. Gently massage from the base of the finger to the
tip of the finger to obtain the required blood volume. Avoid smearing the drop of
blood.
For the greatest reduction in pain, lance on the sides of the fingertips. Rotation of
sites is recommended. Repeated punctures in the same spot can make your fingers
sore and callused.
