Step 5
The lancing device has six puncture
depth settings, numbered 0 through 5
(0 for a shallow puncture, 5 for a deeper
puncture).
Choose a depth by rotating the top
portion of the adjustable tip until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.
Step 6
To cock the lancing device, hold the
body of lancing device in one hand and
pull the sliding barrel with the other
hand. The device is loaded when you
feel a click and the load confirmation
window turns red.
Note:
The skin depth to get blood samples will vary for
various people at different sample sites. The lancing device's
adjustable tip allows the best depth of skin penetration to
get an adequate sample size.
Note:
0 = least penetration of lancet into the skin.
5 = most penetration of lancet into the skin.
Step 8
Obtain a blood sample using the lancing
device. Place the device against the pad
of the finger. The best puncture sites are
on the middle or ring fingers.
Press the release button. Remove the
lancing device from the finger. Wait a
few seconds for a blood drop to form.
A minimum volume of 0.5 microliter is
needed to fill the confirmation window
(actual size of 0.5 μL: )
