Press the lancing device firmly against your finger tip and press
the release button.

Remove the device from the puncture site. After penetration,
remove the first drop of blood with a clean cotton swab. Gently

Remove the lancet by twisting the cap off and safely dispose
of the used lancet by pushing the exposed tip into the desk.
Before collecting the blood sample:
• Wash your hands dry completely before testing.
• Choose the puncture side.
• For a well blood circulation, please massage the skin on the puncture side for about 20 seconds to encourage blood flow.
Caution:
Do not hold the lancing device
on the cap.

Testing on sites other than the ngertip is referred to as Alternative
site testing (AST). Please read the Alternative Site Testing (AST)
section in your operation manual before you perform AST.
Substitute the lancing device cap with the clear cap for alternative
site testing. Pull the cocking control back until it clicks.
When lancing the forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh, or calf, avoid
lancing the areas with obvious veins in order to prevent excess
bleeding.
