Preparing the Lancing Device
Warning: To reduce the risk of infection:
• Never share a lancet or lancing device.
• Always use a new, sterile lancet.
• Lancets are for single use only.
• Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt or debris in or on the lancets
and the lancing device.
• These devices are intended to be used for patient self-
monitoring and should not be used to collect blood from more
than one person as this poses a risk of transmitting blood-borne
pathogens such as Hepatitis B or HIV.
STEP 6: Cock the Lancing Device. Slide the
ejection/cocking control back until it clicks.
If it does not click, the Lancing Device may
have been cocked when the lancet was
inserted. See Figure 11.

to lance your finger for a blood sample.
