Lifescan OneTouch manual Allow Blood Drop to Form

STEP 5 Allow Blood Drop to Form.

Continue holding the blood sampler against the skin for a few seconds until the blood drop forms. Allow enough blood to form under the cap until you have a blood sample that is sufficient to fill the confirmation window of the test strip

( actual size). If you must massage the area to obtain more blood, do not squeeze the site excessively.

Note: Blood is applied to the test strip in the same manner as described on pages 26–27. However, you may find it more convenient to hold the forearm still and bring the meter and test strip to the blood sample.

If bruising occurs, you may choose to lance a fingertip instead. If you are having difficulty obtaining blood from the forearm, call the OneTouch® Customer Care Line at 1 800 663-5521.
