lancing device by twisting it off.
See Figure 22.
STEP 2: Insert a sterile lancet into
the lancet holder of the lancing
device and push down firmly until
the lancet is fully seated. Do not
twist the lancet. See Figure 23.
STEP 3: Remove the protective
cap from the lancet by twisting it
and then save it for later use.
See Figure 24.
STEP 4: Replace the cap onto the
lancing device. Screw the cap
until it is snug but not too tight.

until the number lines up with the arrow. Choose
from the following depths: 1-2 (least penetration)
for soft, 3 (average penetration) for average, 4-5
(deepest penetration) for thick or calloused skin.
See Figure 25.
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 26.
