Lifescan blood glucose monitoring system manual Cock the Penlet Sampler, Get a Drop of Blood

Step 2: Cock the PENLET® II

Sampler

Holding the lower portion of the PENLET II Sampler, pull out the dark gray sliding barrel until it clicks. If it does not click, the PENLET II Sampler may have been cocked when the Lancet was inserted.

Step 3: Get a Drop of Blood

Wash your hands with soap and warm water and dry them thoroughly. Warm water stimulates the flow of blood to the fingers. Hanging your arm down at your side for 10–15 seconds before the fingerstick will make it easier, too. If you use alcohol to clean your finger, make sure you let it dry before sticking your finger.
