Preparing the Lancing Device for Fingertip Testing

WARNING
Use a new lancet for each fingerstick to avoid infection.
1. Make sure the black cap is on
the lancing device. Do not use
the AST cap to perform a
fingertip test.
2. Twist the cap to set the depth.
The depth indicator shows the
current depth selection.
The higher the number, the
deeper the penetration. If you
have soft skin, we suggest
starting at a depth of 2. If your
skin is calloused or thick, try a
higher setting.
