CAUTION
To reduce the chance of infection
• All components that come into contact with blood samples
should be considered to be biohazardous and capable of
transmitting viral diseases, even after disinfection.
• Do not use a lancet that has been used by another person
and never share your meter and lancing device with anyone.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after
handling your meter, lancing device or test strips.
• Keep your meter and lancing device clean. See the
pre-cleaning and disinfection section on page 41.
NOTE
• Repeated puncturing at the same sample site may cause
pain or skin calluses (thick hard skin).
• Choose a different site each time you test.
