Lifescan Ultra Forearm Blood Sampling, Cap, Choose the Puncture Site, Install the OneTouch® UltraClear®

Forearm Blood Sampling

The forearm has fewer nerve endings than the fingertip so you may find that obtaining a blood sample from the forearm may be much less painful than using the fingertip. The technique for forearm sampling is different from fingertip sampling. Also there are differences between forearm samples and fingertip samples that you should understand. Please read the important information on page 27 carefully.

STEP 1

Install the OneTouch® UltraClear®Cap.

To aid in obtaining a blood sample from the forearm, replace the OneTouch® UltraSoft® Cap on the Sampler with the OneTouch® UltraClear® Cap. If necessary, set the Sampler for a deeper puncture.

STEP 2

Choose the Puncture Site.

Select a soft, fleshy area on your forearm that is clean and dry, away from bone, and free of visible veins and hair.
