Every time you open a new box of test
strips, you will replace the test strip
code chip.
With the code number facing up, insert
the code chip into the code chip slot
until it snaps into place.
Have the patient wash his or her hands
in warm, soapy water. Or, clean the
fingertip with an alcohol wipe.
Make sure the fingertip and your
gloved hands are thoroughly dry.
Before continuing, review these
tips for getting a good blood drop.
Increasing the blood flow in the finger
will help you get a good drop of blood,
so keep in mind these tips:
Warm the hand. Have the patient hold
•
it under his or her arm, use a hand
warmer, and/or wash with warm water.
• Have the patient let that arm hang by
his or her side.
• Massage the finger from its base.
Use these techniques until the fingertip
has increased color.
