Multiclix Lancet Device
Product Information:
The product is a lancet device used for blood glucose testing.
It is designed for easy and virtually pain-free testing. The lancet
device uses lancet drums, which are loaded into the device to
create a small puncture in the skin for blood sampling. The device
has a Comfort DialTM for adjusting the depth of the lancet,
ensuring optimal testing for different skin types. The lancet
device also features a release button that turns yellow when the
device is ready for testing.
Product Usage Instructions:
Testing From Your Fingertip:
- Remove the blue cap from the lancet device.
- Insert a new lancet drum into the device, making sure the blue
ring is inserted first until it stops and clicks into place. Note:
Ensure the device is not primed before inserting the lancet
drum. - Slide the cap on until it stops, aligning the notch on the cap
with the notch on the device. - Adjust the depth of the lancet by turning the Comfort DialTM.
Start at 2 or 3 and increase to a higher number for tougher
skin. - Prime the lancet device by pressing the plunger in as far as it
will go until the release button turns yellow. - Hold the lancet device firmly against the side of your
fingertip and press the yellow release button. Note: The lancet
does not come out of the center of the cap. - To use a new lancet, advance to a new lancet. Always use a new
lancet for virtually pain-free testing.
Testing From a Site Other Than Your Fingertip:
- Slide the clear cap onto the lancet device, aligning the notch
on the cap with the notch on the device. Ensure a lancet drum is
loaded. - Prime the lancet device by pressing the plunger in as far as it
will go until the release button turns yellow. - Press the lancet device firmly against the skin and pump it
slowly up and down to increase circulation. - Press the yellow release button while maintaining firm, steady
pressure to assist blood flow until an adequate drop of blood
forms.
Note: For testing from sites other than your
fingertip, refer to your owner’s booklet or consult your doctor for
more information. Always use a new lancet for virtually pain-free
testing.
Loading and Removing Lancet Drum:
To load a new lancet:
- Twist the plunger 1/4 turn forward until it stops, then twist
it back all the way. - The lancet counter will decrease by one white bar. When no
white bars are visible, you are using the final lancet.
To remove the drum:
- Take off the cap and pull the drum straight out.
Note: Once a lancet drum is removed, it cannot
be reinserted. Refer to the other side of the user manual for
instructions on how to insert a new drum.
