For sighted persons: Using the meter and cleaning the devices

 Wash your hands with warm water and soap, and dry well. This helps ensure proper hygiene and stimulates blood flow.

 Gently but firmly press the front end of the lancing device against

the chosen puncture site. You will feel the slightly raised ring

against your skin. This is the pin-hole through which the tip of the

lancet emerges.

 Press in the plunger until it CLICKS. This triggers the lancet, which

penetrates the skin.

 Using gentle pressure, massage the finger towards the fingertip to

encourage a drop of blood to form.

The amount of blood that emerges at the puncture site depends on the

penetration setting and the pressure used to hold the lancing device

against the skin.

If the amount of blood you obtain is too small, try again, applying more pressure this time. If you still obtain insufficient blood,

repeat the procedure with progressively deeper settings.

If too much blood emerges, reduce the penetration depth.
