Fingertip Blood Sampling

The OneTouch® Ultra® System requires a very small blood drop to perform a test. You may obtain it from a fingertip or forearm. (See page 25 for information on obtaining a blood sample from the forearm.) Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.

STEP 1

Position the Sampler.

Hold the Sampler firmly against the side of your finger. Press the release button.

Note: Do Not use OneTouch® UltraClear®

Cap on your finger.

STEP 2

Massage the Fingertip.

Massaging the fingertip gently will help you obtain a round drop of blood. Do Not squeeze excessively on the puncture site. The blood sample must be at least one microliter (1 µL) in volume ( actual size) or you may get an Æmessage (see page 57) or an inaccurate test result. Do Not smear the blood sam- ple. Proceed with your blood glucose test.
