you obtain a round drop of blood. Do not
squeeze excessively on the puncture site.
The blood sample must be at least one
microlitre (1 µL) in volume ( actual size) or
you may get an error message (see page
50) or an inaccurate test result. Do not
smear the blood sample. Proceed with your

System requires a very
small blood drop to perform a test. You may obtain it
from a fingertip or arm. There are important
differences in the procedures for fingertip testing and
arm testing. See page 24 for information on obtaining
a blood sample from the arm. Choose a different
puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures
in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
