Lancing Your Finger
Important: Use the grey cap for finger
testing.
Stimulate blood flow by keeping your

your finger.

depth setting on the lancing device
to its shallowest depth (1).
b. Lightly touch the lancing device
(with the grey cap) against the side
of your finger tip.
c. Press the release button, and then
place the lancing device on the table
or desk near you.

until a blood drop the size of a
pinhead forms (example: ).
