Caution: For your safety, never share a lancet with another person.

Wash hands with soap and warm water. Dry well. Load lancet into lancing device and twist off protective cap. Choose a spot on the side of a different finger each time you take a blood sample. Follow lancing device manufacture's instructions for obtaining a blood sample. Eject lancet from lancing device. Replace safety cap before discarding. To minimize the pain of testing: Change lancet after every use to ensure the least painful puncture. Lancets become dull and painful when re-used.
