The lancing device has seven puncture
depth settings, numbered 1 through 7
(1 for a shallow puncture, 7 for a deeper
puncture).
Choose a depth by rotating the top
portion of the adjustable tip until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.
Note:
1 = a shallow puncture for softer skin
7 = a deeper puncture for thick or calloused skin
Step 6
To cock the lancing device, hold the
body of lancing device in one hand and
pull the sliding barrel with the other
hand. The device is loaded when you
feel a click and the load confirmation
window turns red.
Note: The skin depth to get blood samples will vary for
various people at different sample sites. The lancing device's
adjustable tip allows the best depth of skin penetration to
get an adequate sample size.
