Step 2: Cock the
PENLET
II Sampler.
®
Holding the lower portion of
the PENLET II Sampler, pull
out the dark gray sliding barrel
until it clicks. If it does not
click, the PENLET II Sampler
may have been cocked when
the lancet was inserted.
Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood.
Wash your hands with soap
and warm water and dry them
thoroughly. Warm water
stimulates the flow of blood to
the fingers. Hanging your arm
down at your side for 10–15
seconds before the fingerstick
will make it easier, too. If you
use alcohol to clean your
finger, make sure you let it dry
before pricking your finger.

Choose a spot on the side of a
different finger each time you
test. Repeated punctures in
the same spot can make your
finger sore and calloused.
