[. . . ] To help you get a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow. Press and hold the sampler against your forearm or palm for a few seconds, then press the release button. Keep holding the sampler and cap against your skin until a round drop of blood forms under the cap. Maintain pressure until the drop of blood is of at least one microliter ( actual size). [. . . ] Insert the test strip, contact bars end first and facing up, into the test port. If they do not match, see your owner's booklet for instructions on coding the meter correctly. CAUTION: Matching the code on the meter and the code on the test strip vial is essential to obtain accurate results. Using the lancing device, obtain a blood sample large enough to fill the confirmation window ( actual size). When the flashing apply blood symbol appears on the display, touch and hold the drop of blood to the narrow channel in the top edge of the test strip. · DO NOT press the test strip too firmly against your puncture site (fingertip, forearm, or palm). Hold the blood drop to the top edge of the test strip until the confirmation window is full before the meter begins to count down. If the confirmation window does not fill completely before the meter begins to count down, do not add more blood to the test strip; discard the test strip and retest. If the confirmation window is not full, you may get an error message or an inaccurate test result. If you have trouble filling the test strip, contact LifeScan Customer Service for assistance. Your blood glucose test result will appear after the meter counts down from 5 to 1. Blood glucose test results are automatically stored in the meter memory. For detailed information on the blood sample collection and coding your meter, please refer to the owner's booklet that came with your system. Test Procedure for Blood Glucose Measurement Materials provided: OneTouch® Ultra ® Test Strips. Materials required but not provided: your meter, owner's booklet, lancing device, optional clear cap, and a new, sterile lancet. Blood Sample Collection To obtain a drop of blood, follow these steps: Step 1: Select the puncture site. If using the forearm, choose a fleshy area away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. If using the palm, choose a fleshy area on the palm below your thumb or pinky finger. Select a spot with no visible veins and away from deep lines, which may cause your blood sample to smear. Dry them thoroughly. Test Results · The OneTouch® Ultra® Family of Meters and InDuo® Systems display results between 20 and 600 mg/dL (1. 1­33. 3 mmol/L). If your test result is lower than 20 mg/dL (1. 1 mmol/L), a warning message will appear indicating a low glucose level. Treat this condition immediately according to your healthcare professional's recommendations. Although this message could be due to a test error, it is safer to treat first, then do another test. [. . . ] · Test results may be falsely low if the patient is severely dehydrated, This study shows a variability from strip to strip in blood tests of 3. 2% or less.
