Preparing.the.Lancing.Device.for.Fingertip.Testing

1. Make sure the black cap is on

the lancing device. Do not use

the AST cap to perform a

fingertip test.

2. Adjust the depth by turning the

Comfort Dial. The depth

indicator shows the current

depth selection. The higher the

number, the deeper the

penetration. If you have soft

skin, we suggest starting at a

depth of 2. If your skin is

calloused or thick, try a higher

setting.

3. Press the plunger in as far as it

will go, like a pen. The release

button turns yellow. Do not

press the release button while

pressing the plunger.

4. Set the lancing device aside

until later in the test.
