For ngertip sampling, adjust the depth penetration to reduce the
discomfort. You do not need the clear cap for ngertip sampling.
1. Unscrew the lancing device cover from the body of the lancing
device. Insert a sterile lancet into the lancing device and push it until
the lancet comes to a complete stop in the lancing device.
Note : The iGlucose®Essential lancing device uses ONLY
iGlucose®Essential sterile lancets.
2. Hold the lancet rmly in the lancing device and twist the safety tab
of the lancet until it loosens, then pull the safety tab o the lancet.
Save the safety tab for disposing the used lancet.
3. Carefully screw the cover back onto the lancing device. Avoid
contact with the exposed lancet. Make sure the cover is fully sealed
on the lancing device.
4. Adjust the puncture depth by rotating the lancing device cover.
There are 5 puncture depth settings. To reduce discomfort, use the
lowest setting that still produces an adequate drop of blood.
