for performing a blood glucose test, pages 8 - 14.
Preparing the Lancing Device

do not remove it. Always
use M

Insert the lancet firmly into
the lancing device until it
comes to a full stop. This
will re-set the device. You
can also pull and release
the re-setting handle.

the M

device with your thumb on
the grip indent as shown.

The puncture depth

setting and the amount
of pressure applied to
the puncture site. You
