Allow blood drop to form
Continue holding the sampler against the skin for a
few seconds until the blood drop forms. Allow enough
blood to form under the cap until you have a blood
sample that is sufficient to fill the confirmation
window of the test strip. If bruising occurs, you may
choose to lance a fingertip instead. If you are having
difficulty obtaining blood from the arm, call Customer
Service at your local Novo Nordisk or LifeScan office
for assistance. The blood sample must be at least 1
microliter in volume or you may get an Æ or possible
inaccurate test result. If you must massage the area to
obtain more blood, do not squeeze the site excessively.
Removing the lancet after finger or arm testing
• To remove the cap, twist it counterclockwise h.
• Optional: To replace the protective disk on the
lancet, place the disk on a hard surface and push
the exposed tip into the protective disk.
æAlways use caution when removing the lancet. Point
the lancet down and away. Push forward on the ejection/
cocking control and eject the lancet directly into an
appropriate container for sharp objects i. Used test
strips can go into the same container. Return the ejection/
cocking control to the middle position. Replace the cap.
