1. Wash your hands in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely. Warming
fingers can increase blood flow.
2. Turn the lancet insert cap counterclockwise to remove it, insert the lancet into the
lancing device holder and push down firmly until it is fully seated. Twist the lancet
protective disk until it separates from the lancet.
3. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise, until it is snug. Adjust the puncture depth
setting by turning the comfort dial. The dial has 1 to 5 steps, and the higher the step
number, the stronger the blood sampling pressure on the puncture site.
The comport tip offers 5 different levels of skin penetration.
• 1-2: for soft or thin skin
• 3: for average skin
• 4-5: for thick or callused skin
3. After cocking the lancing device back, hold the lancing device firmly against the side
of finger and then press the release button.
