Removing the used lancet:
- NOTE: This lancing device has an ejection feature, so you do not have to pull out the used lancet.
1. Remove the lancing device cap
-
- Remove the cap by rotating it and then pulling it straight off the device.
2. Cover the exposed lancet tip
-
- Before removing the lancet, place the lancet protective cover on a hard surface then push the lancet tip into the flat side of the disk.
3. Eject the lancet
-
- Holding the lancing device directed downwards, push the slider forward until the lancet comes out of the lancing device. If the lancet fails to eject properly, cock the device then push the slider control forward until the lancet comes out.
4. Replace the lancing device cap
-
- Place the cap back onto the device; turn the cap or push the cap straight in to secure it.
- Ensure the cap is aligned as shown in the image.
- It is important to use a new lancet each time you obtain a blood sample. Do Not leave a lancet in the lancing device. This will help prevent infection and sore fingertips.
