Accu-Chek Aviva User Manual

3. Remove the black cap from the
lancing device by pulling it
straight o. It is not a twist
cap. The easiest way to do this
is to place your thumb to the
side of the notch as seen in
the illustration.
4. Put the AST cap on by lining
up the notched sections on the
cap and the lancing device.
5. Dial the depth selection
appropriate for your testing
site. Set the lancing device
aside until later in the test.
NOTE
We suggest starting at a depth setting of 5½ for forearm or upper arm testing, and 3 for palm testing.
Once you perform a successful test, you may want to find the lowest depth setting that provides enough
blood with the least amount of pain.
