(The lancets are 6 steps more aggressive than the
Blue Butterfly Touch lancets.)
Note: You want to use the thickest Contact Tip that gets the right amount of
blood with little to no discomfort. Contact Tips going from thickest to thinnest:
#1 Blue #2 Yellow, #3 Green, #4 Clear, #5 Orange, #6 Violet.
NOTE: Different test sites may require a different Contact Tip.
4.4 Replace Nozzle: Line up the Nozzle Slots with the Front End Tabs.
Gently push together and rotate clockwise into place.
5.0 PERFORM BLOOD DRAW
Wash hands with soap and water. Clean test site. Have your meter and test
strip ready to wick up your blood sample.
5.1 Place Genteel on skin: Pick your test site from the diagram in 3.0 at the
top right. Make sure you have a seal between Contact Tip and skin by gently
and flatly holding the device perpendicular to the skin. Do not press Genteel
forcibly into the skin, as this can cause pain during testing.
NOTE: Hold Genteel like a pen, with index finger on the Activation Button.

6.0 CLEANING GENTEEL
6.1 Surface cleaning: Before every use, wipe the outside of the device with a
clean damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: If the Push Shaft rises past its halfway point—while holding
the Activation Button, this may be a vacuum leak caused by dirt or other
contaminants inside Genteel. If you experience this vacuum loss symptom—
perform (6.2). If symptom persists—perform (6.3). If cleaning doesn't resolve
vacuum leak, call customer support +1 (866) 373-2824.
