Warning
• If the protective disc on a lancet needle has already been removed, do not use the lancet needle.
• If you drop the lancing device with an inserted lancet needle, carefully pick it up and dispose of
the lancet.
Important
• Use the lancing device only with lancet needles from the same manufacturer. Using other lancet
needles may prevent the lancing device from working properly.
• If you are using a third-party lancing device, please read the accompanying Instructions for use.
5.1 Preparing to take a blood sample
1 Choose a part of the body from which to take a blood sample
The lancing device is intended for taking blood samples from the fingertip or other body parts
such as the palm of the hand, forearm or upper arm. We recommend taking blood samples
from the fingertip. To make the procedure as painless as possible, do not take samples directly
from the centre of the fingertip, but slightly to either side.
Warning
• In the event of suspected hypoglycaemia: take blood from the fingertip only. Reason:
changes to blood glucose levels can be detected quickly in blood samples taken from the
fingertip.
• Blood samples from the fingertip and samples taken from another body part (AST) may pro-
duce completely different results. It is essential to seek medical advice before taking meas-
urements from other body parts.
