Notes
Dropping the finger pricker with a lancet inserted may loosen the
lancet in its holder. In that case the lancet is no longer properly
lodged and cannot be used to obtain blood.
In rare cases the lancet may even protrude from the cap. In a
case such as this you might injure yourself on the lancet. There-
fore take great care not to touch the front of the cap.
Should you drop the finger pricker, please pick it up with care.
Remove the cap from the finger pricker. Take care to avoid the
lancet so as not to injure yourself. Always eject and dispose of
the lancet if the finger pricker has been dropped (see Chapter
4.5). Afterwards, re-attach the cap without inserting a lancet.
Press the plunger all the way down twice. Only then insert a lan-
cet again.
For blood collection, the cap must be on the finger pricker. With-
i
out this cap, the finger pricker cannot be primed, nor can the lan-
cet be triggered. Instead, the lancet is ejected when you press
the plunger.
