Setting up the Lancing Device

1. Familiarize yourself with the Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device.
   
2. Get the lancet drum from the pocket in the carry case.
   
   NOTE
   Each lancet drum contains 6 sterile lancets. You can perform 6 tests before replacing it.
   
3. Remove the cap by pulling it straight off. Do not twist the cap.
   
   You must not insert the lancet drum into the lancing device and simultaneously press the release button or hold the lancing device with the release button resting on a surface such as a table top. This could release a lancet and inadvertently cause injury.
   
4. Insert the lancet drum, white end first, into the lancing device. Push the lancet drum all the way in until it clicks firmly into place.
   
   NOTE
   Do not remove the lancet drum until all 6 lancets are used since the drum cannot be reused once it has been removed from the lancing device.
   
5. Replace the cap on the lancing device. Make sure the notch on the cap lines up with the notch on the lancing device.
   
6. Adjust the lancet depth to a comfortable penetration level. Start at 2. For tougher skin, dial to a higher number.
   
   Using the lancing device: By pressing the release button, the lancing device primes and pricks with 1 click.

4. Insert the test strip into the meter in the direction of the arrows.
   
   The meter turns on. Preparing to test appears.
   
5. Press the lancing device firmly against the side of your fingertip and press the release button to prick your finger.
   
6. Touch the end of the test strip to the blood drop. Do not put blood on top of the test strip.
