Obtaining Blood Drop
16
STEP 7
Set the proper depth of penetration by
rotating the cap of lancing device. 1-2
for soft or thin skin, 3 for average skin,
4-5 for thick or calloused skin.
STEP 8
Place the lancing device on pricked site.
Hold the lancing device firmly against
the side of the finger, with the cap
resting on the finger (The harder it is
pressed the deeper the puncture). Press
the release button to take a sample.
To reduce the infection possibilities:
•
Make sure to wash the puncture site with soap and water
before sampling.
•
Do not share a lancet or a lancing device with others.
•
Always use a new lancet - lancets are for single use only.
•
Keep your meter and lancing device clean.
