Testing blood glucose
4
You can choose one of 11 different penetration depth settings to suit
your own skin type. You can use the finger pricker either docked with
the meter, or undocked.
The finger pricker has a plunger at the top (see illustration in Chapter
1.2). This plunger has three functions:
앫 priming the finger pricker
앫 triggering the lancet to obtain blood
앫 ejecting the used lancet
You can perform all of these functions using just one hand, as to acti-
vate a function you only have to press the plunger down.
To obtain blood you first need to insert a lancet and then set the pene-
tration depth.
