Preparing the Lancing Device
Step 1
Wash hands and sample site with
soap and warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Step 2
Unscrew and remove the
adjustable tip.
Step3
Insert a new disposable lancet firmly
into the lancet holder. Twist off the
protective cover of the lancet and set it
aside, then replace the adjustable tip.
Keep the protective cover to replace on
top of the used lancet after testing.
Step4
Turn the adjustable tip until it is aligned
with the load confirmation window and
release button as shown in the diagram.

Step 5
The lancing device has six puncture
depth settings, numbered 0 through 5
(0 for a shallow puncture, 5 for a deeper
puncture).
Choose a depth by rotating the top
portion of the adjustable tip until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.
Note:
0 = least penetration of lancet into the skin.
5 = most penetration of lancet into the skin.
Step 6
To cock the lancing device, hold the
body of lancing device in one hand and
pull the sliding barrel with the other
hand. The device is loaded when you
feel a click and the load confirmation
window turns red.
Note:
The skin depth to retrieve samples will vary for
various people at different sample sites. The lancing device's
adjustable tip allows the best depth of skin penetration for an
adequate sample size.
