Getting the Blood Drop:

With the gray endcap on your Ascensia MICROLET Lancing Device, select the puncture depth by rotating the dial on the endcap to a smaller drop for shallower puncture or larger drop for deeper puncture. Adjusting the amount of pressure applied to the puncture site will also affect puncture depth.

Press the endcap ﬁrmly against the puncture site (the side of the ﬁngertip is often preferred) and press the blue release button.

Wait a few seconds. Stroke your hand and ﬁnger to- wards the puncture site to form a drop of blood. Do not squeeze around the puncture site or ”milk” your ﬁnger excessively.

Test immediately after you have formed a blood drop. (See page 11.) Only 0.6 µL is needed for a test.
