Step 1. Set the Lancing Device
Screw off the cap of the lancing device. Insert a lancet
into the lancet holder and push down firmly until it is fully
seated.
Twist the protective disk until it separates from the lancet.
Replace the lancet device cap. Turn the cap until it is snug
but not too tight.
Twist the adjustable tip in either direction until the number
lines up with the arrow: The adjustable tip offers 5 levels of
skin penetration:
1-2 for soft or thin skin, 3 for average skin,
4-5 for thick or calloused skin.
Slide the ejection/cocking control back until it clicks. If it
does not click the device may have been cocked when the
lancet was inserted.
Blood from sites other than the fingertip
A clear cap, together with the kit, make it easier to get a
drop of blood for AST. When you want to obtain blood from
sites other than the finger, replace the lancet device cap
with the clear cap. Turn the clear cap until it is snug but
not too tight, and then slide the ejection/cocking control
back until it clicks.
