Obtaining a Drop of Blood
Step 1
Wash hands with soap and warm water. Dry hands  
thoroughly. If you use alcohol wipes to cleanse fingers,  
make sure the area is dry before lancing finger. 
Residual alcohol may lead to inaccurate readings.
Step 2 
Let the arm hang down for 10 to 15 seconds. (Holding the  
arm below the heart and massaging the wrist, palm and  
finger makes it easier to obtain a blood drop).
Step 3  
Choose a site on the side of a fingertip to minimize pain. 
Step 4  
Press the depth adjustment cap to the side of the  
fingertip. Push the release button.
