How to Handle the Device
To change the drum, grasp the cap by the notch and remove it from the device. Insert a new drum—blue ring first—until it snaps into place. Replace the cap on the device. The first lancet is ready to use.
Use the comfort dial to adjust penetration depth. To prime the device press the priming plunger down like a pen, as far as it will go. The release button turns yellow when the lancing device is ready. Place the device firmly against the side of the fingertip or alternate site, and click the release button to lance.
Please note: The first drop of blood can be used for glucose monitoring.
How to Advance to a New Lancet
When you insert a new drum, there is a scale with 5 white bars, indicating 5 lancets in reserve. A new lancet can be chosen by twisting the priming plunger. When you twist the plunger back, the number of white bars decreases by one.
How to Use the Alternate Site Testing (AST) Cap
Remove the blue cap from the lancing device. Attach the clear plastic AST cap, and twist the dial until you reach your chosen setting. Prime the lancing device, and place the AST cap firmly against the selected site. Press the release button to lance.
