Changing the Lancet Drum
When you have used the sixth and last lancet, you should change the drum.
Notes:
• A used drum cannot be reinserted into the finger pricker.
• In rare instances, if a used drum is dropped on a hard surface the lancets may protrude
slightly from the drum. If you drop a drum, always pick it up at the red-striped end.
1. Place your thumb to the side of the notch
and remove the cap by pulling it straight
off. It is not a twist cap.
2. Hold the drum between your thumb and
index finger and pull it straight out of the
finger pricker. Two red stripes are visible
on the white part, indicating that the drum
has been used.
