QUICK TEST GUIDE
Wash your hands with warm, soapy water and dry them well
before performing a test.
Remove the gray endcap from your MICROLET™ 2 lancing device.
In one hand, hold the lancing device with your thumb on the grip indent.
In your other hand, hold the endcap dial and gently snap off the end cap
with a downward motion. Rotate the endcap on the lancet a 1/4 turn, then
insert the lancet into the lancing device until you hear it click. Remove
the round endcap from the lancet, and save it for disposing of your
lancet after you test.
Insert a CONTOUR®Test Strip into the meter.
The meter will turn on, and an image of a blood drop will immediately
flash on the screen, telling you the meter is ready for you to apply a
tiny (0.6mL) blood sample.
Place the MICROLET™ 2 device firmly against your fingertip and press
the blue release button. To help form the blood drop stroke your hand and
finger toward the puncture site. Do not squeeze around the puncture site.
Touch the tip of the test strip lightly to the drop of blood until
the meter beeps.
After the fast 5 second countdown, read the result.
After reading the result, remove and discard the used test strip.
The reading will automatically be stored in memory, and the meter
will automatically turn off.
To remove the lancet from the lancing device:
Remove the endcap as described above. Place the round lancet cap on a
flat surface with the Bayer logo facing down. Push the lancet needle
completely into the exposed side of the cap, as shown here. While pressing
the blue release button, pull the blue cocking handle, and the lancet will
drop into the container you have selected.
