Obtaining a Blood Sample from the Arm Please read this information carefully: • Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using samples taken from your arm may differ significantly from fingertip samples. • The conditions in which these differences are most likely to occur are when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as following a meal, an insulin dose or associated with physical exercise. • When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these changes more quickly than arm samples. • When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample may identify a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) level sooner than a test with an arm sample. • Use arm samples only for testing prior to, or more than two hours after, meals, insulin dose or physical exercise. • Testing performed within two hours after meals, an insulin dose or physical exercise, or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing rapidly, should be done from the fingertip. • You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as arm testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia. • Routine testing before meals can be done either on the fingertip or the arm. STEP 1 Select a puncture site. If you choose to puncture the arm, select a soft, fleshy area (away from bone) that is free of visible veins or excess hair. Wash your hands and the puncture site. Use warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. STEP 2 Obtain a blood sample. Use the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus or OneTouch® Ultrasoft™ adjustable blood sampler with the OneTouch® UltraClear™ cap to obtain a drop of blood. If puncturing the arm, you may choose to set the OneTouch® Penlet® Plus or OneTouch® UltraSoft™ adjustable blood sampler for a greater puncture depth. To increase blood flow to the puncture site, massage the area gently. For individuals who experience difficulty in getting sufficient blood for a test, rubbing the area more vigorously or the brief application of heat may be helpful. Do not squeeze excessively on the puncture site. If you use an alcohol swab, make sure that the site is completely dry before lancing it. Press and hold sampler to arm for a few seconds. Press release button. Continue to hold sampler against the skin for a few seconds until enough blood forms. Applying Blood to the Test Strip STEP 1 Apply blood. When symbol appears, touch and hold a drop of blood to TOP EDGE of test strip, where it meets the narrow channel. The blood sample must be at least 1 microliter in volume ( actual size) or you may get an inaccurate test result. Hold blood drop to TOP EDGE until confirmation window is completely filled before meter begins to count down. DO NOT • Apply blood to front or back of test strip. • Push finger against test strip. • Try to apply smeared sample. STEP 2 Good sample Sample too small Check confirmation window. If confirmation window does not fill completely before meter begins to count down, do not add more blood to test strip. Discard test strip and retest. STEP 3 Read results. Meter will count down from 5 to 1 and display test result with date and time. Note: Consult your Healthcare Professional before you begin using the arm for testing.
