TESTING
Prepare the Lancing Device
The lancing device graphics are for illustration purposes only.
Your lancing device may look different. Refer to your lancing
device insert for detailed instructions on preparing the
lancing device.
1. Remove the endcap from the lancing device.
2. Loosen the round protective
cap on a lancet by rotating the
cap ¼ turn, but do not remove
the cap.
WARNING: Potential Biohazard
• The lancing device usually provided with your kit is intended for
single-patient use only. It should not be used for assisted blood
draws by health care providers or at health care provision sites,
and should never be shared with anyone else, even a family
member, due to risk of infection.
• Do not reuse lancets. Used lancets are not sterile. Use a new
lancet each time you test.
WARNING: Potential Biohazard
Always dispose of used test strips and lancets as medical waste or
as advised by your health care professional.
3. Insert the lancet firmly into the
lancing device until the lancet
comes to a complete stop.
4. Twist off the round protective
lancet cap. Save the cap for
disposing of the used lancet.
5. Replace the endcap.
6. Rotate the endcap dial to adjust
the puncture depth.
The amount of pressure applied
to the puncture site also affects
puncture depth.
