puncture depth
Getting a Blood Drop and Testing
1. Pull the cocking barrel back to set the lancing device. You may hear a click;
while the release button changes to orange color to indicate the lancing device
is now loaded and ready for obtaining a drop of blood.
2. Press the lancing device against the side of the finger to be lanced with the
cover resting on the finger. Push the release button to prick your fingertip. You
should hear a click as the lancing device activates.
3. Gently massage from the base of the finger to the tip of the finger to obtain the
required blood volume. Avoid smearing the drop of blood. For the greatest
reduction in pain, lance on the sides of the fingertips. Test immediately after a
good blood drop has formed.
