• The black cap is for fingertip testing only.
• Remember that the opening where the lancet comes out is not in the center of the
cap.
• Remove the cap by pulling it straight off. Do not twist the cap.
• The AST cap* is for testing other approved sites on the body, not the fingertip.
• Remove the cap by pulling it straight off. Do not twist the cap.
• We suggest starting at a depth setting of 5½ for forearm or upper arm testing, and a
depth setting of 3 for palm testing. Once you perform a successful blood glucose test,
you may want to find the lowest depth setting that provides enough blood with the
least amount of pain.
• A new lancet drum is dark gray with a white end.
• A used lancet drum has a visible red stripe on the white end.
• You cannot reuse a used lancet drum.
• Do not remove the lancet drum until you have used all 6 lancets.
• The penetration depth indicator on the comfort dial shows the current depth setting.
The higher the number, the deeper the penetration. The best depth setting is the
lowest number that lets you get enough blood for a test. Try different depth settings to
find the one that is right for you.
• For soft skin, we suggest a depth setting of 2. For thick skin, try a higher depth
setting.
