Lancets and Lancing Device
•
Lancets are for one-time use only. Use a new lancet
each time you monitor.
•
Discard your used lancet properly. Put it in an
empty puncture-resistant container, such as a
plastic milk carton or detergent bottle.
•
Never share your lancing device or lancet with
another person.
