Getting a Blood Drop and Testing

Here is an example of how to use a FiggHealth Safety Lancet for fingertip blood sampling. If you use a different single-use auto-disabling safety lancet or lancing device, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions

1.  Carefully rotate and pull off the protective cap. Avoid placing your thumb or fingers over the uncapped end of the safety lancet.

2.  Hold the safety lancet against the puncture site. Note: Before using a single-use auto-disabling safety lancet for blood sampling, wash both hands with soap and warm water and disinfect the puncture site with a topical skin antiseptic such as an alcohol swab.

3.  Gently press the safety lancet against the puncture site to lance the skin. Listen for an audible click. This indicates that the safety feature of the device has been activated. Dispose of the lancet in an appropriate biohazard sharps container. Please see the Caution Statement.

4.  Gently massage from the surrounding area toward the puncture site volume. to collect the required blood

For the greatest reduction in pain, lance on the sides of the fingertips. Rotation of sites is recommended epeated punctures in the same spot can make fingers sore and callused.

5.  Immediately touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of blood. The blood pulled into the test strip through the tip. Make sure that the blood sample has been fully filled the check window on the strip tip. Hold the tip of the test strip in the blood drop until the meter beeps.

Note:
If the blood sample does not fill the check window, do not add a second drop. Discard the test strip and start over with a new test strip.
