Inserting a Lancet Drum
You must first load the drum into the lancing device to get it ready for use.
1. Remove the cap by pulling it straight off. It is not a
twist cap. The easiest way to do this is to place
your thumb to the side of the notch as seen in the
illustration.

2. Before you insert a drum, be sure that the release
button is not yellow, and that no lancets are
sticking out of the drum. Insert a new drum, blue
ring first, until it stops. It clicks into place.
