How to Test Your
Blood Glucose Level
CAUTION: To ensure accurate results, wash your hands with
warm, soapy water and dry before every test. Make sure
there is no grease, oil or lotion on the test site. Interfering
substances (see test strip insert sheet for interfering
substances) on unwashed hands may lead to inaccurate
results. Use lancets only once. Do not use any lancet or
lancing device that has been used by another person.

How to test your blood glucose level:

[1] Preparing the WaveSense Lancing Device:
Remove Lancing Device Cap:
Pull the cap off the lancing
device.
Insert New Lancet: Insert a new WaveSense Lancet firmly into
the lancet holder cup. Pushing
the lancet into the lancet holder
cup may cock the device; this
is OK.
Pull the Lancet Cap Off : Hold the lancet firmly in place with
one hand and use your other
hand to pull off the lancet cap.
Do not discard the lancet cap. It
should be used when discarding
your used lancet.

Replace Lancing Device Cap: Replace the lancing device
cap until it snaps into place.
Be careful not to touch the
exposed needle on the lancet.
Set the Lancing Level: The WaveSense Lanc-
ing Device offers 8 depth settings. Rotate
the dial to the desired setting as shown in
the depth indicator window. Level 1 is the
most shallow; level 8 is the deepest. If you
have never lanced before, it is recommended
that you start at level 3. If necessary, set the
depth level to a deeper setting to produce
enough blood to fill the test strip (0.5 μL).
Cock the Handle: Pull the cocking handle out until it clicks.
You may have already cocked the handle accidentally while
inserting the lancet; this is OK.
The lancing device is now ready
for use.
[2] Insert a WaveSense Jazz Test
Strip: Insert a new WaveSense Jazz
Test Strip into the strip port of the
meter. Make sure you insert the test
strip, with the contact bars facing
up, into the strip port. The meter
will be activated when the test strip
is fully inserted.
Note: If you do not start the test within 5 minutes, the meter will
be deactivated. To reactivate your meter, take out the unused
WaveSense Jazz Test Strip and reinsert it into the meter.
