4. Testing Your Blood Glucose
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
█ Preparing the Test
1. The easiest way to collect a drop of blood is to wash your hands with warm water and soap first. This
promotes the blood circulation in the fingertips. Then dry your hands properly. The puncture site can
alternatively be wiped with an alcohol- soaked swab. Please ensure that the site is completely dry
before collecting the blood sample.
2. Prepare the lancing device and turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.
3. Insert the lancet into the lancet holder and push down firmly until it is fully seated. Do NOT twist the
lancet.
4. Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet. Replace the lancing device cap. Turn it
clockwise until it is snug fit.
NOTE: If you have your lancing device already, please read information in your lancing device instruction for
use.
█ Inserting the Medisign GH82 Blood Glucose Test Strip
1. Insert a test strip to turn on the meter automatically. Make sure it is inserted completely without
bending the test strip.
