 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 proce-
dure with progressively deeper settings.
If too much blood emerges, reduce the penetration depth.
7.5.2 Applying blood to the test strip
 Hold the meter so the test strip is pointing downwards (see illustration).
 Touch the drop of blood, as soon as it has formed, against the tip of the
test strip where the black notch is located. The strip draws up blood.
