Step 1
Wash hands and the sample site with
soap and warm water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Step 2
Unscrew and remove the adjustable tip.
Step 3

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.
Preparing the Lancing Device
Step 4
The lancing device has five puncture
depth settings, numbered 1 through 5.
The smaller numbers are for a shallower
puncture and the larger numbers are for
a deeper puncture. Choose a depth of
penetration by rotating the top portion
of the adjustable tip until the setting
number matches the arrow.
Step 5
Cock the lancing device by holding the
body in one hand and pulling on the
sleeve with the other hand until the
device clicks.
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. A beginning setting of three (3) is recommended.
Step 6
Insert a test strip with the contact bars facing up into the
meter’s test strip port. Push the strip gently into the strip port
until the meter automatically turns on and the symbol
appears. If the talking function is on, the meter will say "Blood
glucose test. Please apply blood onto the test strip."
