Step 2: Cock the PENLET
®
II
Sampler
Holding the lower portion of the
PENLET II Sampler, pull out the
dark gray sliding barrel until it
clicks. If it does not click, the
PENLET II Sampler may have
been cocked when the Lancet
was inserted.
Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood
Wash your hands with soap and
warm water and dry them thor-
oughly. Warm water stimulates the
flow of blood to the fingers. Hanging
your arm down at your side for
10–15 seconds before the fingerstick
will make it easier, too. If you use
alcohol to clean your finger, make
sure you let it dry before sticking
your finger.
