2. Hold the lancet firmly in the lancing device and twist the safety tab of the
lancet until it loosens. Then pull the safety tab off the lancet. Save the safety
tab for lancet disposal.
3. Carefully screw the cover back onto the lancing device. Avoid contact with the
exposed needle. Make sure the cover is fully sealed on the lancing device.
4. Adjust the puncture depth by rotating the lancing device cover. There are a
total of 11 puncture depth settings. To reduce the discomfort, use the lowest
setting that still produces an adequate drop of blood.
Adjustments:
0 - 1.5
for delicate skin
2 - 3.5
for normal skin
4 - 5
for calloused or thick skin
Note:
Greater pressure of the lancing device against the finger will also
increase the puncture depth.
5. Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. You may hear a click
while the release button changes to orange to indicate the lancing device is
now loaded and ready for obtaining a drop of blood.
