Prepare the lancing device
1. Remove the cap by turning it counterclockwise and
then pulling it straight off of the device. (Figure 7-10).
2. Insert a new lancet firmly into the white lancet holder cup
(Figure 7-11). Pushing the device into the cup may cock the
device, which is fine.
3. Hold the lancet firmly in place with one hand. With your other
hand, twist off the rounded top (Figure 7-12).
4. Place the cap back onto the device; turn clockwise to
secure the cap (Figure 7-13). Be careful not to touch the
exposed needle on the lancet.
5. The lancing device has seven puncture depth settings, num-
bered 1 through 7. Smaller numbers are for a shallower punc-
ture and the larger numbers are for a deeper puncture.
(Figure 7-14 on the next page).
To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with
soap and water. Do not leave any cream or lotion on
your hands or fingers. Thoroughly dry your hands.
