Preparing the Puncture Site

Rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant
influence on the accuracy of your test results.
When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the test
result will be more precise.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop of blood:
● Wash and dry your hands before starting.
● Select the puncture site on fingertips.
● Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol and
let it air dry.
● Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
NOTE:
• Choose a different spot each time you test. Repeated punctures at the same
spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• It is recommended that you discard the first drop of blood as it might contain
tissue fluid, which may affect the test result.
