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.
*The Lancing Device is prepared and ready
to lance your finger for a blood sample.
