Installing the Contact Tip onto the Nozzle
Place the Contact Tip on a clean, hard, flat surface,
like a tabletop.
There are two sides to the Contact Tip—the smooth side that
goes against your skin and the side with the grooves that goes
onto the Nozzle. Make sure the side with the groove is facing up.
Use a slight back and forth (rotating) motion to gently push the
Nozzle flat into the Contact Tip. The lip on the Nozzle goes into
the groove on the Contact Tip.
The Contact Tip may also be installed by stretching it over
the Nozzle.

Alternate site testing
Alternate site testing means using a part of your body other than
the fingertips to obtain blood for blood glucose testing. Always
check with your doctor to see if and when alternate site testing
is right for you.
If alternate site testing is right for you, choose a penetration site
on a soft, fleshy area of your arm, or other recommended site,
away from bone, and free of visible veins and hair. Obtain a
sample following Steps 4-12, the same way as shown in
“Testing from the fingertip”.
Removing the Lancet
Release the Activation Button.
Pull Droplet Genteel away
from your skin
Place Droplet Genteel, gently, but firmly, against
the fleshy side portion of your middle, ring, or
pointer finger. Look to be sure there are no
spaces between the Contact Tip and your skin.
Replace the Nozzle by lining up
the body’s pins with the Nozzle
slots and rotate clockwise.
Press the Activation Button and continue to hold firmly
on the test site. Count to 10 or until you see a blood
drop form when you look inside the Nozzle window.

Make sure the lancet is inserted
correctly into the lancing device. It is
okay for the lancet to turn slightly
during protective cap removal.
Cleaning Droplet Genteel Lancing Device
1 Surface cleaning:
Before every use, wipe the outside of the device with a clean

IMPORTANT:
If the Push Shaft rises past its halfway point –
while holding the Activation Button, this may be a vacuum leak
caused by dirt or other contaminants inside Droplet Genteel.
