Lancets are for one-time use only. Use a new, sterile lancet each time you test. Test different areas on
your fingertips to avoid developing calluses. Remove the used lancet from the lancing device. Follow your
local disposal regulations where applicable.

Your lancing device is for your personal use only. DO NOT share with others. Sharing the lancing device or
lancets can transmit very serious infections. To avoid accidental fingersticks injuries, do not store used lancets
in the device after testing or arm the lancing device with a new sterile lancet unless ready to use.
