Getting a Drop of Blood
CAUTION: To reduce the chance
of infection:
■ Never share a lancet with
another person.
■ Always use a new, sterile
LifeScan Lancet. Lancets are
for single use only.
■ The Penlet ™ Plus Sampler should
be used by only one person.
■ Avoid getting hand lotion,
oils, dirt, or debris in or on
the lancets and the Penlet Plus
Sampler.
Step 1: Insert a Lancet into the
Penlet
™ Plus Adjustable Blood
Sampler.
Remove the Penlet ™ Plus Cap by
twisting it counterclockwise. Insert a
lancet into the lancet holder. Push
down firmly until the lancet is fully
seated in the holder. Do not twist the
lancet. To avoid contamination and
to prevent the cap from rolling away,
set the cap
down on a flat
surface with
its small hole
pointing up.
