Using Venous Blood<br />
You may use the CoaguChek <strong>XS</strong> Meter to test venous blood. Blood<br />
may be collected directly using a butterfly or a needle and syringe.<br />
Do not clean the syringe tip with alcohol or water prior to dosing<br />
the test strip. Use only a plastic syringe free of anticoagulant. Do<br />
not use glass. The syringe needle should be 23 gauge or larger. A<br />
21 gauge or larger needle is recommended.<br />
Note: Refer to the Preparing for a Test and Performing a Test<br />
sections of this manual for fingerstick blood testing instructions.<br />
1. Collect the Venous Sample When the flashing test strip<br />
appears on the meter’s<br />
display, collect the venous<br />
blood sample.<br />
Do not perform venipuncture<br />
until the flashing test strip<br />
is displayed.<br />
