Sampler against your forearm or palm for a few
seconds, then press the release button.

Sampler
Carefully lift the sampler away from your skin.
Do not smear the blood sample.
NOTE:
• You may need to wait a little longer to get a
large enough drop of blood from the forearm
or palm. Do not squeeze the site excessively.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with
hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample.
Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
• Remember: You may have to adjust the sampler to a deeper
setting to get a large enough drop of blood ( actual size).
