CAUTION:
To reduce the chance of infection and disease spread by
blood:
• Make sure to wash the sample site with soap and warm
water, rinse and dry before sampling.
• The lancing device is intended for a single user. Never
share a lancet or lancing device with anyone.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet each time you test.
• Always keep your meter and lancing device clean (See
page80).
• The meter and lancing device are for single patient use
only. Do Not share them with anyone, including family
members! Do Not use on multiple patients!
• After use and exposure to blood, all parts of this kit
are considered biohazardous. A used kit may transmit
infectious diseases even after you have performed
cleaning and disinfection.
