you obtain a round drop of blood. Do not
squeeze excessively on the puncture site.
The blood sample must be at least one
microlitre (1 µL) in volume ( actual size) or
you may get an
Æ
message (see page 55)
or an inaccurate test result. Do not smear
the blood sample. Proceed with your blood

Fingertip Blood Sampling
OneTouch ® Ultra ® System requires a very small blood
drop to perform a test. You may obtain it from a
fingertip or forearm. (See page 26 for information on
obtaining a blood sample from the forearm.) Choose a
different puncture site each time you test. Repeated
punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and
calluses.
