Testing Your Blood; Step 1 - Getting A Drop Of Blood - ACONLABS On Call Vivid User Manual

The following steps will show how to use the meter, test strips, lancing device and
sterile lancets together to measure your blood glucose level.

Step 1 - Getting a Drop of Blood

®
The On Call Vivid Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires a very small drop of
blood. The blood may be obtained from the fingertip, palm (at base of the thumb) or
forearm. Before testing, choose a clean, dry work surface. Familiarize yourself with
the procedure and make sure you have all the items needed to obtain a drop of
blood.
Important: Prior to testing, wipe the test site with an alcohol swab or soapy water.
Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary. Then dry your hands and the
test site thoroughly. Make sure there is no alcohol, soap or lotion on the test site.
Note: Never share lancets or the lancing device with others. Always use a new
sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only. Wash hands thoroughly with soap
and water after handling the meter, the lancing device, or the test strips for testing.
