2.2 Blood collection and test

Wash the sample site with clean water. Dry the
sample site. In order to take a capillary blood
sample, puncture the site using a sterile lancet.
Wipe away the first droplet of blood. Apply
gentle pressure to the puncture site. The
second droplet must be large enough to fill
the measurement chamber of the Test Strip
in one go.
WARNING
Avoid pressing on the puncture site too
heavily as sweat and/or tissue fluid can merge
with the droplet of blood and interfere with
the test result.
The droplet of blood must not run. Position
the tip of the Test Strip on the sample site
and the Test Strip will draw blood into the
measuring chamber
