Operations for the Lancing Device and Blood Lancet
1. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the lancing device. Insert a sterile lancet
into the lancet holder and push it until the lancet comes to a complete stop in the lancet hol-
der.
2. Hold the lancet firmly in the lancet holder 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 nee-
dle. Make sure the cover is fully sealed on the lancing device.
4. Adjust the puncture depth by rotating the lancing device cover. There are five puncture depth
settings.
5. Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. You may hear a click. The device is now
ready for obtaining a drop of blood.
Refer to figure 2.9A.
