Getting the Blood Drop:
Fingertip Testing—
The depth of the puncture
depends upon the adjustable
endcap setting you choose and
the amount of pressure applied
to the puncture site. You should
determine which combination
works best.
Press the endcap fi rmly against
the puncture site and press
the blue release button.
Wait a few seconds. Stroke your
hand and finger towards the
puncture site to form a drop of
blood. Do not squeeze around
the puncture site (“milking“).
Test immediately after you
have formed a blood drop (see
page 12).
