Notes
Incorrect results may cause the wrong therapy
recommendation to be made and thus produce
adverse health effects.
Therefore, refer to the following notes:
button Before you start the test, wash your hands with
warm water and soap and dry them well. This helps
remove any residues from the skin, e.g. from food,
drinks or skin cream, which can disturb the test
result. This also stimulates blood flow and reduces
contamination of the puncture site.
