The lancing device has five puncture
depth settings, numbered 1 through 5.
The smaller numbers are for a
shallowerpuncture, and the larger
numbers are for a deeper puncture.
Choose a depth of penetration by rotating
the top portion of the adjustable tip until
the setting number matches the arrow.
Step 5
Cock the lancing device by holding the
body in one hand and pulling on the
sleeve with the other hand until the
device clicks.
Note: The skin depth to retrieve samples will vary for
various people at different sample sites. The lancing device's
adjustable tip allows the best depth of skin penetration for
an adequate sample size. A beginning setting of three (3) is
recommended.
