Testing blood glucose

To obtain blood with the finger pricker, you first need to
prime it.
Do not prime the finger pricker until you are
ready to obtain blood. Storing the finger pricker
in this primed state can cause parts to become
misshapen through tension, impairing its opera-
tion.
1 To prime the finger pricker, press the multifunction
button down as far as it will go.
When you release the button one third will come out
again. The finger pricker is now primed.
Do not press the multifunction button again until
you actually want to obtain blood. As the finger
pricker is now primed, this would trigger the
lancet and could lead to accidental injury.
