Adjust the puncture depth by rotating the lancing device cover. There are a total
of 5 puncture depth settings. To reduce discomfort, use the lowest setting that still
produces an adequate drop of blood.
Use settings 1 and 2 for delicate skin, 3 and 4 for normal skin, or 5 for calloused or
thick skin.
Note:
Greater pressure of the lancing device against the finger will also increase
the puncture depth.
Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. A click may be heard. The
device is now loaded and ready to obtain a drop of blood.
Prior to testing, make sure the patient‘s hand is warm and relaxed before collecting
the capillary blood specimen. Use warm water to increase blood flow if necessary.
Massage the hand from the wrist up to the fingertip a few times to encourage blood
flow.
Clean the testing site with an alcohol swab or by washing the hands with warm
soapy water and then dry the testing site thoroughly.
