Taking a test
4. Adjust the depth setting 
The lancing device has seven 
puncture depth settings, 
numbered 1 through 7. 
Smaller numbers are for a 
shallower puncture and the 
larger numbers are for a 
deeper puncture. Shallower 
punctures work for children 
and most adults. Deeper 
punctures work well for people with thick or callused skin. 
Turn the depth wheel to choose the setting. 
NOTE: A shallower fingertip puncture may be less painful. 
Try a shallower setting first and increase the depth until 
you find the one deep enough to get a blood sample of 
the proper size.
5. Cock the lancing device 
Slide the cocking control 
back until it clicks. If it does 
not click, it may already 
have been cocked when you 
inserted the lancet.
