Replace Cap
Replace the cap until it snaps or clicks
into place. Be careful not to touch the
exposed needle on the lancet.
Important: Use the grey cap for finger
tests. Lancing with the clear cap may be
completed at the following test sites: fore-
arm, upper arm, hand, thigh, and calf.
Page 24 shows an example of lancing on
the forearm.
Set the Lancing Level
The FreeStyle
®
Lancing Device offers
four different depth settings. Move the
dial to the desired setting as shown in
the depth indicator window. Level 1
is the shallowest depth; Level 4 is the
deepest. To lance parts of the body other
than the finger, we recommend that you
start at Level (2) and use the clear cap.
To lance your finger, we recommend
that you set the depth setting to its
shallowest depth (1) and use the grey cap.
Cock the Handle
Pull the dark grey cocking handle out
until it clicks. (You may have already
cocked the handle in step 2; this is
okay.)
You are now ready to perform a blood
glucose test.
