Warning: To reduce the risk of infection:
• Never share a lancet or lancing device.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet.
• Lancets are for single use only, do not reuse.
• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt or debris
in or on the lancets and the lancing device.
• These devices are intended to be used for
patient self-monitoring and should not be
used to collect blood from more than one
person as this poses a risk of transmitting
blood-borne pathogens such as Hepatitis
B or HIV.
STEP 6: Cock the lancing device.
Slide the cocking control back
until it clicks. If it does not click,
the lancing device may have
been cocked when the lancet was
inserted. See Figure 27.
