1. Prepare hands: Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before sampling to remove contaminants and improve accuracy.
2. Insert lancet: Remove one sterile Trueplus lancet from its protective cap and load it into your compatible lancing device (check device compatibility).
3. Remove cap: Twist or pull off the protective cap carefully to expose the needle.
4. Lance skin: Position the lancing device against the side of the fingertip or approved alternate site and activate per your device manufacturer’s instructions to obtain a capillary blood drop.
5. Collect sample: Apply the blood drop immediately to your blood glucose test strip or appropriate diagnostic test.
6. Dispose: Lancets are single-use only. After use, place the lancet into an approved sharps container following UK clinical waste guidelines.

Tip: Vary the finger site each time to reduce local irritation and minimise discomfort.

As medical device consumables, Trueplus 28 Gauge Sterile Lancets do not contain active pharmaceutical “ingredients.” They are manufactured from medical-grade materials designed for secure, sterile sampling:

• Sterile 28 Gauge stainless-steel needle — tri-beveled precision tip for smooth penetration.

• Silicone or lubrication coating on needle (varies by batch) — reduces friction during skin entry.

• Plastic hub and protective cap — maintains sterility until use and assists insertion into a lancing device.

The lancet components work together to help deliver consistent blood samples for accurate glucometer readings when used with a compatible lancing device and blood glucose meter.

Warnings & Precautions

• Single-Use Only: These lancets are sterile devices designed for single use only. Do not reuse — reuse increases risk of infection and dulls the needle, which can cause more discomfort and unreliable sampling.

• For external capillary sampling only: Do not use for injections or any other purpose beyond obtaining a blood sample for testing.

• Protective cap: Do not use if the protective lancet cap has been removed or the packaging is damaged, as sterility may be compromised.

• Safe disposal: Dispose of used lancets in a designated sharps container in line with UK sharps disposal regulations.

• Keep out of reach of children: Unused and used lancets can pose a risk of injury if accessed by children or pets.

Potential Local Effects

• Mild discomfort: Some users may experience mild pain or tingling at the puncture site — this is common with lancet use.

• Local irritation or minor bleeding: Slight redness, irritation or tiny amounts of bleeding may occur; effects are usually short-lived if correct technique is followed.

• Signs of infection: If there is persistent redness, warmth, swelling, increasing pain or discharge at the sampling site, seek advice from a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
