Page 28: Testing Your Blood
Testing Your Blood 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 Express Voice Blood Glucose Monitoring System requires only a 0.4 μL blood sample which may be obtained from the fingertip, palm (at base of the thumb) or forearm. - Page 29 Fingertip Testing For fingertip sampling, adjust the depth penetration to reduce the discomfort. You do not need the clear cap for fingertip sampling. 1. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the lancing device. Insert a sterile lancet into the lancet holder and push it until the lancet comes to a complete stop in the lancing device.
- Page 30 Adjustment: 0 – 1.5 for delicate skin 2 – 3.5 for normal skin 4 - 5 for calloused or thick skin Note: Increased pressure of the lancing device against the finger will also increase the puncture depth. 5. Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. You may hear a click while the release button changes to yellow color to indicate the lancing device is now loaded and ready for obtaining a drop of blood.
- Page 31 Alternative site testing The forearm and palm areas have less nerve endings than the fingertip. For that reason, you may find that obtaining blood from these sites is less painful than from the fingertip. The procedure for forearm and palm sampling is different. You need the clear cap to draw blood from these sites.
