Adjust the puncture depth by rotating
the depth adjustor (Figure 89). The lancing
device has 5 puncture depth settings. To
reduce discomfort, choose the lowest
setting that still produces an adequeate
blood sample.
Pull back the cocking barrel (Figure 90)
until you hear a click. Now the lancing
device is loaded and ready to draw blood.
Before taking a blood sample, wash
your hands or use an alcohol wipe to clean
the area. Washing your hands in hot water
increases blood circulation. You can also
massage from wrist to finger to promote
better blood circulation (Figure 91).
