Follow Step 1 and 2 of “Preparing the Lancing
Device” to insert the lancet and load the lancing
device.
3. Screw the clear cap onto the lancing device.
4. Choose a puncture site on the forearm or
palm. Select a soft and fleshy area of the
forearm and palm that is clean and dry, away
from bone, and free of visible veins and hair.
To bring fresh blood to the surface of the
puncture site, massage the puncture site
vigorously for a few seconds until you feel it
getting warm.

site. Press and hold the clear cap against the
puncture site for a few seconds. Press the
release button of the lancing device, but do
not immediately lift the lancing device from
the puncture site. Continue to hold the lancing device against the puncture
site until you can confirm a sufficient blood sample has formed.
