CAUTION
● Wash the puncture site with soap and water and dry the site thoroughly before sampling blood.
● Do not share the same lancet or lancing device with anyone else to avoid the risk of infection.
● Always use a new lancet. Lancets are for single-use only. Do not reuse a lancet that has already
been used.

This meter can test the glucose levels of blood from your fingertip, palm
and forearm. However, test results from sites other than the fingertip may
differ from fingertip measurements. Consult your doctor or healthcare
professional before testing blood from the palm or forearm.
