button changes to orange color to indicate the
lancing device is now loaded and ready for
obtaining a drop of blood.
2. Press the lancing device against the side of the
finger to be lanced with the cover resting on the
finger. Push the release button to prick your
fingertip. You should hear a click as the lancing
device activates.

the required blood volume. Avoid smearing the drop of blood. For the
greatest reduction in pain, lance on the sides of the fingertips. Test
immediately after a good blood drop has formed.

drop of blood. The blood pulled into the test strip
