Sampling Blood From The Fingertip:
- Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
- Before testing, wash your hands and the sample site with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry completely. Contaminants on the skin may affect results.
