Preparing the Lancet Device for Fingertip Testing
▲
!
Use a new lancet for each fingerstick to avoid infection and get a virtually pain-free test.
1. Make sure the blue cap is on the lancet device.
Do not use the clear cap to do a fingerstick test.
2. Adjust the depth by turning the Comfort Dial.
The depth indicator shows the current depth
selection. The higher the number, the deeper
the penetration. If you have soft skin, start at
a depth of 2. If your skin is calloused or thick,
try a higher setting.
