Step 3
Massage the Area.
To increase blood flow to the puncture
site, massage the area gently. For
individuals who experience difficulty in
getting sufficient blood for a test, rubbing
the area more vigorously or applying heat
briefly may be helpful.
Step 5
Allow Blood Drop to Form.
Continue holding the lancing device against
the skin for a few seconds until the blood
drop forms. Allow enough blood to form
under the Clear Cap until you have a blood
sample ( sample size) that is sufficient to
fill the confirmation window of the test strip.
If you must massage the area to obtain more
blood, Do Not squeeze the site excessively.
