Getting a Drop of Blood
Be sure to read this section and the test strip package insert found in the test
strip box carefully before testing. Make sure you have all items needed to test:
monitor, test strips, lancing device, and sterile lancet.
Step 1- Insert a lancet in the adjustable lancing device.
(Fig. 15)
Twist and remove the cap of lancing device.
Insert a lancet into the lancet holder and push down firmly
until it is fully seated. (Fig. 15)
(Fig. 16)
Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet.
(Fig. 16)
Replace the lancing device cap until it is snug but not too
tight.
Step 2- Select the depth of puncture.
(Fig. 17)
Twist the adjustable tip in either direction to select the
depth of puncture. (Fig. 17)
Five levels of depth were offered:
1-2 for soft or thin skin, 3 for average skin, and 4-5 for thick
or calloused skin. Please select the most suitable depth for
you to avoid unnecessary pain.
Step 3- Set the ejection control.
Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it clicks. (Fig.
18)
If it does not click, the lancing device may have been cocked
when the lancet was inserted.
