BLOOD GLUCOSE TESTING
3. Replace the lancing device cap
Place the cap back onto the device; turn the cap or push the cap
straight on to secure it.
Ensure the cap is aligned as shown in the image.
4. Adjust the depth setting
The device has 13 puncture depth
settings (each dot shown between
numbers 1 to 7 on the Depth Wheel
indicates an additional available
depth setting). Adjust the depth by
turning the depth wheel. Smaller
numbers are for a shallower
puncture and larger numbers for a
deeper puncture.
NOTE:
Try a shallower setting first and increase the depth until
you find the one deep enough to get a blood sample of the
proper size.
5. Cock the lancing device
Pull the slider back until it clicks.
If it does not click, it may already
have been cocked when you
inserted the lancet.
