Getting Ready to Test
Getting Ready to Test:
Your lancing device may not be the one shown here.
Please check your lancing device insert for complete
instructions on its use. Read the MICROLET 2 or the
Ascensia M
ICROLET insert for complete instructions. For
testing sites other than fingertip, see page 28.
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before testing.
The following steps (pages 8–13) are shown in the
proper order for performing a blood glucose test.
Remove the endcap from the
MICROLET2 lancing device
with your thumb on the grip
indent as shown.
Loosen the round protective
cap on a lancet by rotating
it ¼ turn, but do not remove
it. Always use MICROLET
lancets for best operation.
Insert the lancet firmly into
the lancing device until it
comes to a full stop. This will
cock the device. You can also
pull and release the cocking
handle.
