5.1 Performing a Blood Sample (Fingerstick)

1. Измийте ръцете си старателно със сапун и топла вода, след което ги подсушете напълно.
2. Ensure a new lancet is inserted and the depth setting is appropriate for your skin type (refer to Section 4.2).
3. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks. The device is now armed.
4. Поставете убождащото устройство плътно отстрани на върха на пръста си.
5. Press the release button to activate the lancet.
6. Gently massage your finger from the base towards the tip to form a blood drop. Do not squeeze excessively.
7. Apply the blood drop to your glucose meter test strip as instructed by your meter's manual.

5.2 Alternative Site Testing (AST)

The FORA Lancing Device includes a clear alternate site end cap for testing on areas other than the fingertip, such as the forearm or palm. Consult your healthcare professional before performing AST, as results from alternative sites may differ from fingertip results, especially during periods of rapid glucose change.

1. Remove the standard cap and replace it with the clear AST cap.
2. Select a suitable depth setting (AST generally requires a deeper setting due to thicker skin).
3. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
4. Press the clear AST cap firmly against the chosen alternative site (e.g., forearm or palm) and hold for a few seconds to create a vacuum.
5. Натиснете бутона за освобождаване.
6. Gently massage the area to form a blood drop.
7. Apply the blood drop to your glucose meter test strip.

Proper disposal of used lancets is crucial to prevent accidental needle sticks and the spread of infection.
