Blood Glucose Monitoring System
This Lancing Device is used to obtain capillary whole
blood samples needed for blood glucose monitoring
or for other tests requiring one or two drops of blood.
The Adjustable Tip on the Lancing Device allows you
to choose the best depth of skin penetration.
Use the CLEAR endcap for alternative site testing
(AST) on the palm or forearm. Please see the blood
glucose user guide before performing alternative site
testing as it provides important information about the
best testing site for your system.
5 Depth Adjustable
Lancing Device
Note:
The lancing device is intended for patient
self-monitoring by a single person only. It
must not be used to collect blood from more
than one person as this poses an infection
risk.
Note:
• Keep Dispatch out of reach of children.
• User should wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the lancing device.
• Only DISPATCH Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towel should be used to do cleaning and disinfection with the
lancing device.
Note:
• Should not be used for assisted blood draws by healthcare providers or at healthcare provision sites*, and
should never be shared with anyone else, even a family member..
• Always use a new lancet with each test.
• Keep your lancing device clean.

Needle Cover (this will push down the Lancet Carrier). Gently remove the Lancet from the Lancet Carrier.
Press the Trigger Button to release the Lancet Carrier. Replace the Lancing Device Cover.
Cleaning and disinfection frequency
: The lancing device should be clean and disinfected after every use by the individual
patient.
* Any setting where fingerstick procedures are performed, including assisted living or residential care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, clinics, health fairs, shelters,
detention facilities, senior centers, schools, and camps.
Equipment Needed:
• Damp cloth or paper towel
• DISPATCH: DISPATCH Hospital Cleaner Disinfectant Towels With Bleach are pre-moistened disposable towels for use in
healthcare and other areas where control of cross contamination is required.
1. Inspect for blood, debris, dust, or lint anywhere on the lancing device.
2. Clean or disinfect lancing device.
3. To clean the lancing device and endcap, blood/body fluids must be thoroughly cleaned from surface and objects before
disinfecting. Wipe surface with towel (DISPATCH) until completely wet. Allow to remain wet for one minute at room
temperature (68-77˚F).
4. To disinfect the lancing device allow 2 minutes contact at room temperature. Wipe dry or allow to air dry. Gross soil must

IMPORTANT SAFETY PROCEDURES:
Use a new lancet every time you test to avoid contamination. It is important
to discard the used lancet carefully after each use to avoid unintended lancet
stick injuries. Used lancets may be considered biohazardous waste in your
area. Be sure to follow your local regulations for proper disposal.
If alcohol wipes are used to clean your finger or palm, make sure your skin is
dry before the blood sample is obtained.
Lancing devices should
nEVER
be used by more than one person.
