Preparing the Puncture Site
Rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant
influence on the accuracy of your test results.
Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably
different glucose concentration than blood from the finger. When the
puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference was
significantly reduced.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:
● Wash and dry your hands before starting.
● Select the puncture site on fingertips.
● Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
● Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and
let it air dry.
● Use a clear cap while setting up the lancing device.
NOTE:
• Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same
spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
