Getting And Applying A Blood Sample To The Bd™ Test Strip - BD Logic Owner's Manual

Getting and Applying
a Blood Sample to the
BD™ Test Strip
1. Place the armed BD™ Lancet Device
securely on the side of your finger and
press the trigger button to activate the
device. If necessary, gently squeeze your
finger to help form a drop of blood.
NOTE: Lancets are for one-time use only. Use a new, sterile lancet each
time you test. Test different areas on your fingertips to avoid developing
calluses. After completing the blood test, remove the cap from the
BD™ Lancet Device, carefully place the lancet cover on the lancet and
remove the lancet. Dispose of the used lancet per your local disposal
regulation where applicable.
CAUTION: Your BD™ Lancet Device and BD™ Lancets are for your
personal use only. DO NOT share with others. Sharing the lancet device
or lancets can transmit serious, even grave infections. To avoid accidental
sticks, do not store used lancets in the device after testing or arm lancet
device with a new sterile lancet unless ready to use.
