Set the appropriate lancing
depth, as described in the
instruction manual.
5.
Set the lancing device by
extending it until it clicks
into place. If it does not
click, it is probably already
in position from when you
inserted the lancet.
6.
The lancing device is ready
to use. Do not lance your
finger before the monitor and
test strips are ready to use.
1) Consult the following for the suitable lancing depth: 1 - 2 for soft or thin skin,
3 - 4 for normal skin and 5 - 6 for thick or callous skin.
2) Never use a lancet or a lancing device that belongs to another person. Sharing
lancing devices and lancets may transmit blood borne pathogens, such as
viral hepatitis.
