Continue holding the 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 page 30. However, you may find it more convenient to hold the arm 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 arm, call your local LifeScan Customer Service office for assistance. See back cover for contact information.
