A1-33
The adjustable tip offers 5 levels of skin
penetration. Twist the adjustable tip in either
direction until the number lines up with the
arrow:
1-2 for soft or thin skin, 3 for average skin,
4-5 for thick or calloused skin.
Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it
clicks. If it does not click the device may have
been cocked when the lancet was inserted.
Blood from sites other than the fingertip
A clear cap, together with the kit, make it easier to
get a drop of blood for AST. When you want to
obtain blood from sites other than the finger,
replace the lancing device cap with the clear
cap.
Turn the clear cap until it is snug but not too
tight, and then slide the ejection/cocking control
back until it clicks.
The lancing device is now ready for use. Set aside for later use.
WARNING
To reduce the chance of infection:
Never share a lancet or the lancing device.
Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the
lancing device.
