Testing a Blood Sample
94
WARNING
Use only a lancing device that is approved for use by healthcare profes-
sionals, such as the Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro or Safe-T-Pro Plus lancing
devices, or the CoaguChek Lancets (professional-use lancets available
only in the United States). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
11 Now lance the side of a fingertip with the
lancing device.
We recommend obtaining the capillary blood
from the side of the fingertip as this causes
the least pain.
Massage the lanced finger gently until a drop
of blood is formed. Do not press or squeeze
the finger.
Apply the first drop of blood from the finger.
12 Apply the blood (8 L) directly from the
finger to the semicircular, transparent
sample application area on top of the test
strip.
■ … or you can touch the blood drop
against the side of the sample application
area. The test strip draws up the blood by
capillary action.
During this process you must hold the
blood drop to the test strip until the flash-
ing blood drop icon has disappeared and
the meter beeps (provided the beeper is
enabled).
■ … you can also apply the blood using the
optional CoaguChek capillary tube.
Apply the blood drop to the test strip within
15 seconds of lancing the fingertip. Applying
blood after this period of time may lead to an
erroneous result (as the coagulation process
would already have started).
