Step 4
Press the depth adjustment cap to the side of the
fingertip. Push the release button.
Step 5
Set the lancing device aside and wait a few seconds for
a blood drop to form. Keeping the hand warm, lowering
the hand to waist level, and gently massaging your wrist, palm or the base
of the finger helps the flow of blood. Use a different site each time you test
to help prevent soreness and calluses.
NOTE:
• Do not use the lancet if the cap is missing or damaged.
• Lancing devices, lancets, and meters are for single-patient use only
and should never be shared with another person, even a family
member.
• This lancing device should not be used for multiple patient testing by
healthcare providers or at healthcare provider sites.
• All parts of the kit are considered biohazardous and can potentially
transmit infectious diseases even after you have performed cleaning
and disinfection.
