To use the lancing device
I. Wash your hands and the selected test site with soap
and water. Make sure there is no lotion on the test site.
Thoroughly dry your hands and the test site.
II. Snap the clear cap off the lancing device.
III. Insert a new FreeStyle lancet firmly into the white lancet
cup holder. Pushing the lancet into the cup may cock the
device; this is OK.
IMPORTANT: Use a new sterile lancet for every test. Never
use a lancet for more than one person.
IV. Hold the lancet firmly in place with one hand and use
your other hand to twist off the rounded top.
V. Replace the cap until it snaps or clicks into place. Be
careful not to touch the exposed needle on the lancet.
IMPORTANT: Use the grey cap for finger tests. Lancing with the clear cap may be
completed at the following sites: forearm, upper arm, hand, thigh, and calf.
