IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT

TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE OR

ß-KETONE LEVEL

WARNING:

To reduce the chance of infection:

● Never share a lancet or the lancing device.

● Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.

● Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets

and the lancing device.

Preparing your Lancing Device for Blood Glucose Testing

Please refer to the separate Lancing device Instruction insert to

collect a blood sample.

Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing your puncture site

before blood extraction has a significant influence on the

glucose value you obtain.

Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a

measurably different glucose concentration than blood from

the finger. When the puncture site is rubbed prior to blood

extraction, the difference is significantly reduced.

Please note the following suggestions before obtaining a

drop of blood:

● Wash and dry your hands before starting.

● Select the puncture site at your fingertips (for blood glucose

testing) or palm (for ß-ketone testing). Please see section
