How to know if a lancet will fit with Droplet Genteel
Shape
Is the base of the lancet square?
Droplet Genteel was designed to
work with most square shaft lancets.
Fit
Does the lancet fit and stay in the
shuttle, even if you shake the device?
Size
Remove the Contact Tip from the Nozzle.
Hold Nozzle with the small side up. Drop
the lancet down through the Nozzle. Does
the lancet pass all the way through?
If your lancet does not pass these three tests, it will not work with
Droplet Genteel. However, passing these tests only means it will fit
into Droplet Genteel’s shuttle, but does not guarantee its overall
quality or that the needle size is uniform.
The Droplet Genteel lancing device works with Droplet Personal
Lancets. It is recommended that you use Droplet 30G Personal
Lancets with the Droplet Genteel lancing device.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
Choosing the Contact Tip
The Droplet Genteel lancing device comes with 6 Contact Tips,
different in color and thickness. They range from #1/thickest (Blue)
through #6/Thinnest (Violet). These thickness differences allow you to
adjust the depth of penetration of the lancet. To minimize discomfort,
use the shallowest depth (thickest, lowest number) Contact Tip that
still produces the right amount of blood.
Droplet Genteel comes factory-installed with the Blue #1 Contact Tip.
This is the thickest Contact Tip and allows for the shallowest depth
penetration. We recommend that you try the Blue factory-installed
Contact Tip the first time you use Droplet Genteel. Changing the
Contact Tip to a higher number will allow a deeper puncture depth.

Setting up Droplet Genteel for use
The Droplet Genteel lancing device is designed for single
user only. Never share the lancing device or lancets. Using
the Droplet Genteel lancing device, any of its parts, or any
lancing device on multiple individuals may increase the risk
of inadvertent transmission of bloodborne pathogens.
We recommend that you wash your hands with soap and
water before and after handling the Droplet Genteel lancing
device to prevent the transfer of bloodborne viruses or
infectious agents.
Always use a new lancet for each test. Never reuse lancets.
Always follow the instructions provided with your meter
for blood glucose testing.
Do not store the Droplet Genteel lancing device in high
temperatures above 150°F/66°C, typical of the dashboard
